The 2025 Conference USSSA season continues in Peoria, Arizona with the “Cactus Classic” at the Pioneer Community Park with its 325 foot fences dimensions! The Cactus Classic has been played off and on for over a decade at 4 different parks in and around Phoenix, AZ. This year there will be 13 teams in the men’s division from 5 different states. 6 of the teams are from the Conference so the winner will take home 180 + (4 x 6) = 204 points. The double elimination tournament is seeded by the 2025 Conference points standings so Cheap Suits will be the #1 seed. The weather looks very warm they have decided to use the Dudley Hardcore Pro-M ball which normally performs better than a Stadium ZN ball. I-57 Roofing is the only ‘AA’ team and they will be the favorites. Action in the men’s division starts at 4 PM Pacific time on Friday and ends late Saturday afternoon.

On the women’s side there is a nice field of 14 teams including 4 major teams from 7 different states and 10 of the teams are Conference teams. The women play a dual tournament with the first starting Friday morning and ending Friday night. The 2nd starts Saturday morning and ends Sunday.
