![]() The new USSSA Fastpitch season (2021) starts September 1, 2020 (due to COVID-19). Teams must "age up" or drop older players to stay in their Spring Age group. The league age of the player is determined by the player's age on December 31, 2020. Example: If a player turns 13 on or before December 31, 2020, that player is league age 14U (or 13U but plays by 14U rules). |
