Age Cutoff for 2010
The cutoff date is May 1, 2010. The 2010 season begins August 1, 2009 and concludes July 31, 2010. This means whatever age a player is on May 1, 2010 will be their age for the 2010 season both Fall & Spring. USSSA allows all players to play “up” in a higher age bracket.
It is the belief of USSSA Baseball that these changes will enhance the opportunities for all players to play the game of baseball in a fun and exciting atmosphere.
