 Alert Picture

Click the link below to read the article regarding the use of composite bats:  
Little League placed a moratorium on all composite-barreled baseball bats for these divisions, which took effect on Dec. 30, 2010. If and when any 2 1/4-inch composite-barreled baseball bats receive a waiver of the moratorium, it will be noted on this list. Little League reserves the right to add to this list or make other changes as new information arises.
Here's the latest link to Little League's Website that shows the waivered/approved composite-barreled bats that may be used:

I trust in God. I love my country and will respect its laws. I will play fair and strive to win. But win or lose, I will always do my best.

Peter J. McGovern, 1954
