Wood vs. Aluminum

There is a growing controversy surrounding wood vs. aluminum bats.  There has been a bill introduced to the
Illinois General Assembly to outlaw the use of aluminum bats for any baseball & softball games played in the state
of Illinois involving children under the age of 13.  In an effort to make our environment safe and fun for the kids,
beginning in the 2008 season, ATYB will add wood bats to our Boys leagues as an alternative to aluminum bats. 
Keep in mind, we do not plan to prohibit the use of aluminum bats for the Pinto or Mustang leagues, unless the bill
has been passed into law during the season.

 We have prohibited the use of aluminum bats in both the Boys Bronco & Pony leagues. Keep up with the status of this bill at

http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/billstatus.asp?DocNum=4140&GAID=9&GA=95&DocTypeID=HB&LegID=34247&SessionID=51 

We are currently evaluating what brand of wood bat will work best.  We are looking at the following manufacturers:

Metal Wood

 Viper
