WHAT TO GET YOUR KIDS FOR THE HOLIDAYS?
A New Bat of Course! CHECK OUT THE NEW BAT REGULATIONS: REMEMBER... ANY BATS PURCHASED BEFORE SEPT. 2017 ARE NO LONGER LEGAL FOR LEAGUE PLAY!!!
NEW BAT REGULATIONS
Source: www.baberuthleague.org Implementation of USABat Standard Begins on January 1, 2018 USA Baseball, the national governing body for the sport of baseball in the U.S., in conjunction with participating national member organizations (NMOs) announced the decision to adopt a new method for measuring bat performance in the testing of youth bats. Informed by the research of leading scientists on the USA Baseball Bat Study Committee, and supported by its NMOs, -including the American Amateur Baseball Congress (AABC), Amateur Athletic Union (AAU), Babe Ruth Baseball/Cal Ripken Baseball, Dixie Youth Baseball, Little League Baseball and PONY Baseball -- USA Baseball has concluded that recent advancements in science, engineering, technology, and the materials available to fabricate non-wood bats, now allow the manufacturers to construct youth bats that can perform at a wood-like level through the entire range of lengths and weights of youth bats. The Cal Ripken Division of Babe Ruth League, Inc. have approved the use of the 2 5/8 inch barrel bats for local league play and tournament play beginning in January 2018 and coinciding with the new USA Bat standard.
Click here for more info about bats Similar to the NCAA and NFHS BBCOR standard, which helped to eliminate discrepancies with different length bats and thus provide a more direct measure of bat performance, the new USA Baseball bat standard will allow youth baseball organizations in the United States to reach their goal of establishing a wood-like standard, a standard that will provide for the long-term integrity of the game. How will I know which bat to buy? New bats that bear the USABat licensing mark will be permissible for play.
Bats must have this logo on them to be legal:

GETTING IT DONE!
Please thank Bryan Childress & Volunteers from New Life Church for helping at our volunteer work day. The bathrooms and picnic tables are as good as new. A job well done! Please keep an eye out for more volunteer work days. We could really use more help to get things ready for the Spring Season. There is a lot to be done!
COACHES... DO YOU STILL HAVE EQUIPMENT YOU NEED TO TURN IN? There is still outstanding equipment. If you have equipment you need to turn in, please contact Doug Morrow: [email protected].
SPRING REGISTRATION Early Registration Starts in December We always need coaches! Please take a minute to consider coaching. We are always in need of coaches, especially in the T-ball and Rookie divisions. We have a lot of coaches training and help for coaches, so don't let lack of experience hold you back. The most important factor is that you like working with kids and are willing to put in a little bit of time to help these youngsters LOVE baseball!
