We recognize that for some of you baseball is a new sport and purchasing new equipment can be confusing. To help you, we have provided the following links.

Buying a bat - Please note that as of January 1, 2018, the new USA Baseball Bat Standard was implemented by Little League. USABat Standard bats must be used in the Major and below divisions. Either USABat or BBCOR bats must be used in Intermediate and Junior divisions. At the Senior division, all bats must meet the BBCOR standard. So while the information on some of these websites may help determine the size of bat you should purchase, you must make sure that the bat you purchase is a "legal" bat, otherwise your player will not be allowed to use it for games. If you have questions about whether a bat is legal or not, please contact our UIC.
Find out more about Little League bat rules. Composite bats of any kind are "banned" unless specifically listed on the "approved" list on the Little League International website. These are updated regularly and bats may be placed on the “not approved” list at any time so please check this list before you buy.
