Here is USSSA's statement on Age cutoffs...
"At this time USSSA has no intentions of changing its age eligibility timeline, which is currently January 1. The current age eligibility structure for USSSA Fastpitch has been a strength of our organization and we do not plan on making any adjustments. You can review the age calculator should you have any questions regarding your athlete's eligibility within our organization."
So I think any hope of others following USA is probably unlikely. My DD is a Dec birthday but I think even if she was a January my feelings would be the same. We are playing up.
