Did You Know?
Please check the link below to see if your child's bat(s) are on the approved list!
Little League has posted new rules about what bats will be allowed to use this season. This is new information and we will be enforcing this new rule for the safety of the children. Little League International's moratorium on the use of composite bats extends to all of its baseball divisions, including the Little League (Majors) division.
By definition, a moratorium is: An authorized delay or stopping of some specific activity. As applied by Little League International, the moratorium disallows the use of all baseball bats constructed with composite material in its barrel unless a specific model shows in laboratory testing that it will not exceed the standard that is printed on the bat, after the bat is broken in.
The moratorium on composite bats, which now applies to all baseball divisions of Little League, does not apply to any softball divisions of Little League.
We know that many of you will have questions about this new rule. If you can not find answers to your questions at the link below please let us know and we will do our best to help you find answers.
You can read the official posting made by Little League International on the new bat rules click the link below. At this link you will also find list of bats that are approved and NOT APPROVED.
