[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know what governing body Vienna or McLean follow?[/quote]

[b]Vienna Smash, Vienna Raiders, and McLean Magic will (I assume - my kids aren't part of those teams) use USSSA because they are USSSA registered. [/b]

For their rec sides: McLean will be Little League (still Jan 1). VGSL uses their own cut-offs that are grade-based. The rec/all-star tournament in spring used January 1 last year, but I think the interleague group still has to meet to figure out what cut-offs they will use this June. Because of the all-star tournament I would think the rec leagues will have to get at least somewhat on the same page, not including the Little Leagues.

Rec leagues in the Fairfax County interleague group as of my knowledge right now - not sure about Loudoun or MD:

- Arlington uses their own cut-offs that are grade based.
- CYA follows USA softball currently (Sept)
- All the Little Leagues are Jan 1 (and there are a bunch of new ones)
- Ft. Hunt follows USA softball as of last spring (Sept)
- BRYC is January 1
- SYC is January 1
- NVGSA is January 1
- VSRS doesn't publish a cut-off. Being exclusively a single-team-at-each-age offshoot of Stingrays I would think USSSA but I'm not sure.

First of all, one of those teams is not like the others. Smash and Raisers are barely travel teams while Magic has a longer history of being higher caliber.

Second of all, they are likely registered in multiple sanctions. USSSA may host the most tournaments in this area but USA does a number of them too and actual travel teams (ie the ones that actually travel) will play Alliance, PGF, Sportsnation, NSA, Top Gun, etc. Each sanction has a different registration process and roster policy. They also have slightly different rules. [/quote]

Obviously you are more familiar with the organizations than I am. Still, none of what you wrote changes the fact that in each of those organizations the teams are registered with USSSA, which means their rosters follow USSSA cut-offs for 2025 which is January 1. I guess they could have a separate USA Softball/Alliance/PGF/whatever roster, and if PP is curious they are welcome to look them up on the appropriate sanctioning body and check.[/quote]
