USSSA Slow Pitch Improvement Plan
In an effort to improve the Virginia USSSA Slow Pitch
program and create a level playing field for all teams involved,
Virginia USSSA has compiled a list of teams that we recommend and
encourage to move up to the next level. These teams showed outstanding
play in the 2012 season. We are encouraging these teams to test
their skills against greater competition. Throughout the 2013 season,
all teams will be classified by their local area directors and teams
may be moved up or down at any time during the 2013 season. No team
will be re-classified up or down after July 1, 2013.
Men's C teams encouraged to move up to Men's B (Virginia
USSSA State rule: 8 homeruns):
None
Men's D teams encouraged to move up to Men's C (Virginia USSSA State
rule: 4 homeruns):
Men's
E teams encouraged to move up to Men's D (Virginia USSSA State rule:
