Reclassification of teams for 2010

These are the official move-ups as mandated by the state office. These were done in combination with the State Slow Pitch Committee, the State Reclassification Board and inputs if needed from the League Directors, Players Reps , Deputy Commissioners and District Commissioners. These Re-Classifications are in accordance with the new ASA of PA Code Section 4.03.

Each team affected is listed with their hometown or league along with their District and reason for the classification change. Any team can appeal the decision of the State office. Go to the Web Page on the ASA of PA site, print out the form, fill it out and then mail it to me (my address is listed). OR, if you talk to your commissioner and he is in full agreement with your request and supports your team's request, have him contact me and we’ll go from there.
