    U.S.A./USSSA age chart changes

    Plenty of other sports leagues go by grade. They work well.

    U.S.A./USSSA age chart changes

    Nobody is getting bumped up. Girls are getting the option to go down. All 2010s will still all be eligible to play 14 u next season but so will 09’s born after the cut off. Nothing is preventing the team from staying together, except players having more choices. At some point they decided...

    U.S.A./USSSA age chart changes

    I think ironically that is the only reason why people are against moving the date. They do not want to give up their age advantage.

    Statement from USSSA on age cutoffs

    What is the logical reason for Jan 1? Logical reasons for Sept.1 have been discussed on the thread, yet to see one for Jan 1. I will add a reason, a 12 year old with Dec birthday is not eligible for 12u fall season. They can be literally 12 at game time and forced to play 14u.

    Horrible obstruction call UCLA vs stanford

    It is a catch but I do not see how wording it in front is safer. Catcher still going to make the play. Never seen a catcher watch a by to avoid obstruction. I prefer the impede language and catcher does what they want.

    Horrible obstruction call UCLA vs stanford

    Rule states something about if in the umpires judgement the player would have been out. Wonder if replay looks at that?

    NAIA ruling on Transgender athletes

    NAIA ruling on Transgender athletes

    Are you against Title IX? Women’s sports all together? Truly do not understand but not wanting to assume. Human vs Human does away with women’s sports.
