The Softball Classroom / TincherPitching.NE is committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to people with disabilities. We strive to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA standards published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), which is the current recommended standard and the benchmark referenced under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Conformance Status
The WCAG guidelines define requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities at three levels: A, AA, and AAA. This website is partially conformant with WCAG 2.2 Level AA. “Partially conformant” means that some parts of the content — primarily third-party embedded tools described below — may not yet fully meet the standard. We are actively working to reach full conformance.
