2026 Classification Starting Suggestions

Nebraska USSSA Reclassification List for start of 2026. Click on your age group for information. (these are starting spots for 2026) |
| Nebraska team classifications are based on power ratings, tournament results and by overall team performance on the field during sanctioned tournaments.
Any team that is reforming from the 2025 season must start the 2026 season in the same classification (or higher) than they finished in the 2025 season unless moved by the State Director. For purpose of classifications, if six (6) or more players from a 2025 team are on a 2026 team, they are considered the same team regardless of the TEAM NAME, MANAGER, COACHING STAFF or SPONSOR. Any team that won or finished 2nd in the 2025 State Tournament will be moved up a classification to begin 2026. Teams that finished the 2025 season with 1200 Power Points will be moved up a classification to begin 2026 and if they finished the season with less than 500 Power Points they will be moved down a classification to begin the 2026 season. This is meant to be starting point only for the 2026 season. Teams that are in the “A” classification must email and ask to move you to that classification. The State Office and committee will make final classification adjustments around the 1st week of June each season. This should give team’s ample time to prepare for State and World Series. Please note that teams may be reclassified at any time by the Nebraska USSSA Baseball State Office or by the USSSA National Baseball Committee. Team’s need to plan for State accordingly. Undoubtedly, not everyone will agree with classifications. Any team wishing to appeal a classification may do so after playing a minimum of three USSSA tournament games against teams from their classification after January 1, 2026. Once the results for these games have been posted to the USSSA system, a review will be completed to determine if the team is competitive at the new level. Any appeal must be done via email to the State Office. I would highly recommend that if you find your team in the (1100 to 1200) Power Point range during the 2026 season that you make sure to play tournament games in the higher classification to provide us information in making classification decisions. Otherwise expect a move up.
