Compare dates in MySQL

I want to compare a date from a database that is between 2 given dates. The column from the database is DATETIME, and I want to compare it only to the date format, not the datetime format.

SELECT * FROM `players` WHERE CONVERT(CHAR(10),us_reg_date,120) >= '2000-07-05' AND CONVERT(CHAR(10),us_reg_date,120) <= '2011-11-10'

I get this error when I execute the SQL above:

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'us_reg_date,120) >= '2000-07-05' AND CONVERT(CHAR(10),us_reg_date,120) <= '2011-' at line 1

How can this problem be fixed?

this is what it worked for me:

select * from table
where column
BETWEEN STR_TO_DATE('29/01/15', '%d/%m/%Y')
 AND STR_TO_DATE('07/10/15', '%d/%m/%Y')

Please, note that I had to change STR_TO_DATE(column, '%d/%m/%Y') from previous solutions, as it was taking ages to load
