Age Determination Date Change

USA Softball has updated the date used to determine a player's age. Previously, a player's age was determined as of January 1st. The new date will be August 31st. Here’s what this change means:

New Age Determination Date: Players' ages will now be determined based on their age as of August 31st instead of January 1st.
Impact on Players Born September - December:

For players born between September and December, their age for the upcoming fall 2023 and spring 2024 seasons will be the same as it was this year.
This means players born between September and December may either stay with their current age group or move up.
