USSSA Team Classification Info
NEW: Taking the Mystery Out of Team Classification in Alabama
Alabama USSSA Baseball is committed to transparency and fairness. Moving forward, team classification will be simple, consistent, and 100% based on performance – no more guessing, and no more using classification as punishment.
How Classification Will Work
For 8U-12U:
-
Teams in each age group will be ranked by overall win-loss record.
-
Top 20% → AAA
-
Next 40% → AA
-
Bottom 40% → A
For 7U:
-
Top 60% → AA
-
Bottom 40% → A
For 6U and all 60/90 divisions:
-
All teams will be classed as AA
When Classification Happens
Classification updates will take place on:
-
April 1
-
May 12
We may make minor adjustments over the next couple of weeks, but no major reclassing will occur until April 1 and May 12.
