New bat rules are in effect...please read
The YAA has adopted the bats rules implemented by the USSSA for our 2013 season and beyond. Compliance with these rules is mandatory for both baseball and softball.
For baseball, any age level from Minors (9U) and above will be required to meet this requirement. All bats must have a BPF (Bat Performance Factor) of 1.15 and be approved by the USSSA.
For softball, any age level from Ponytail (9U) and above will be required to meet this requirement. All bats must have a BPF (Bat Performance Factor) of 1.20 and be approved by the USSSA.
The official USSSA rules are linked below.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your league director.
