BEGINNING WITH THE 2024 SPRING RECREATIONAL SEASON AT CLASSIE LASSIES, THE AGE ELIGIBILITY RULES ARE CHANGING.
USA Softball, our primary governing organization, recently changed their age eligibility requirements. Classie Lassies will follow this change for our 6U,* 8U, 10U and 11-14U divisions beginning with the 2024 Spring recreational season.
According to the USA Softball Age Eligibility Requirements, whatever the player's physical age is on 8/31/23 is their playing age for the 2024 Spring recreational season at Classie Lassies. You can find the USA Softball Age Calculator HERE. (Previously, playing age was determined at Classie Lassies by the player’s physical age on January 1, 2024).
*For our 6U division, the minimum age for registration is four years old by 4/1/2024.
Please note, our registration program (Sports Connect by Stack Sports) will automatically place your player in the correct age division based upon their birthdate in accordance with the updated USA Softball age eligibility requirements. You may click any of the "Register Now" links below.
With the adoption of these new age requirements, some players will be eligible for a third year in a given age division (i.e., players with birth dates from September 1 - December 31). If your player falls into this category, and you would like them to move up to the next division, please contact Sarah Hansen at [email protected].
Current Classie Lassie Travel Team Players: These updated age requirements presently apply to the 2024 recreational season only. The updated age requirements do not impact players already on the roster of a 2023-24 Classie Lassies travel team. The league will automatically place all current travel players in the recreational division that coincides with their current travel team even if their registration defaults to a younger age division. For example, if your player is currently on a 12U Classie Lassies travel team, but is eligible for 10U recreational season under the new age requirements, your registration will default to 10U. Please proceed to register your player in 10U; we will transfer your player to 12U after we receive your registration.
