Getting started is an
easy six step process! |
|
 |
| Step 1: Team Age &
Starting Classification... |
|
USSSA
offers baseball for ages 4U - 18U in single age divisions. The age
of your team is determined by the age of your oldest player. The
age cut off date is May 1st. To caculate the legal participation
age for a player, click
here. For the Fall / Winter
Season, players play up to the age they will be the following spring
/ summer. Of course any player may play up in age but never down.
Now that you know the correct age of your team, it's time to
determine your "starting" classification. USSSA Baseball is the
only association that offers four (4) levels of play (i.e.; Major,
AAA, AA, A). To determine your team’s "starting" point,
click here and
review the USSSA Baseball classification guidelines. Keep in mind,
USSSA will monitor team performance and can reclassify a team at any
time.
Comment: Review the
classification guidelines outlined on this web site. If in doubt,
choose the next higher classification. |

names, initials, prefixes or suffixes are allowed) and date
of birth (in proper format - mm/dd/yyyy) are listed
