Team Classification Guidelines

The below descriptions are guidelines. The ultimate decision on classification is the overall strength and performance of the team on the field measured by a team's Power Rating. As per USSSA Rule 3.04, a team may be reclassified by USSSA at any time.

MAJOR: The top 20% - 30% of the teams in the state!

AAA: The middle 40% - 60% of the teams in the state.

AA: The lower 20% - 30% of the teams in the state.

A: Recreation level teams with restricted rosters and geographic boundaries.

ALL-STAR: Teams formed at the end of the regular season from rec. leagues.

NOTE: Any team that is reforming from the PREVIOUS season must start the NEW season in the same classification (or higher) that they finished the PREVIOUS season.

For the purpose of classifications, if four (4) or more players from a PREVIOUS season's roster are on a NEW roster, they are considered the same team regardless of the team name, manager, coaching staff or sponsor.
