You can also contact [email protected] if help with equipment is needed. You can also check out Play it Again Sports for economical used equipment.


Tips for Choosing a Bat:
 - You can try one of the leagues bats to get a feel for size before buying but if/when buying err on the side of shorter and lighter
-Check out the  sizing guide from Dick's Sporting Goods (Look out for Central Little League's 20% discount weekend at Dick's in the fall and spring)
- Little League Rules limit size to a  max Length of 33" and a max diameter 2 1/4".  Little League requires softball bats to have a USSSA stamp/logo and  have a BPF (bat performance factor) of 1.20.  Most new bats on the market will meet this requirement and most have met this requirement for several years.
