No rush fee is required if you are using the online registration system. If you need your membership processed quickly and choose to submit a paper application, you have the option of including a rush fee of $25, which will insure processing within one-two business days.
The rush fee only applies to processing of the membership. Once processed you may download proof of membership through your My USSA account.
NOTE: The USSA can rush the processing of a coach or official membership, but cannot rush the background screening. So, although your coach or official membership can be processed in 1-2 business days with a Rush Fee, positive screening results must be received by USSA before a coach or official is eligible to participate. In addition, completion of the Fast Start Coaching Course may be required to activate some coach memberships.

New members are exempt from late fees. The USSA late fee is applied to all renewing members, with the exception of those holding a youth membership, or those who hold only an official’s membership. If any other membership is held then the USSA late fee does apply. Please be advised that division and/or state organizations may charge a late fee in addition to the USSA late fee and may charge late fees to youth and official members.

One of the many benefits of a My USSA account is that you can use it to manage any number of Member accounts. For example, if you're a parent you can link your son's or daughter's member account and thus have the ability to easily renew their membership or see their ranking. In order to manage a Member account you need to link the Member account to your My USSA account. This can happen one of the following ways:
- Automatically: When you create a My USSA account, if the last name, date of birth, and gender you enter are the same as a Member account on file then you will be asked if you want to link the two accounts together.
- Manually: You can manually link Member accounts by visiting the "Link Additional Members" page and following its instructions.
