Thanks to the generosity of many supporters and friends of Richmond Little League, we have made significant improvements to the Byrd Park tee ball field.  The renovated facility, which includes a new "skinned" infield and fencing, will be ready for use by Opening Day 2012.  We are excited to be able to provide the youngest members of Richmond LL with a great new playing surface for developing their skills and love of the game.

Special thanks go out to our partners for their hard work to complete this project in time for our spring 2012 season.

Majors and below:
In 2011, Little League issued a ban on composite small barrel (2 1/4") bats for the majors division and below.  Since issuing that ban, Little League has approved a limited number of composite bats for use.  The list of approved composite-barreled baseball bats that are permitted to be used in the Little League (Majors) Division and below can be found at the Little League website:

http://www.littleleague.org/learn/equipment/approvedcompbatssmall.htm

Non-composite (metal, alloy, wood) bats, including bats with composite handles but alloy/metal barrels are not affected by this rule change.  Those bats are legal provided they meet all other Little League guidelines.

Juniors and Seniors:
Little League has a list of approved composite bats for Juniors and Seniors (2 5/8 inch barrels).  Any bat that meets the 2012 BBCOR standard will be acceptable for use. BBCOR (Batted Ball Co-Efficient of Restitution) bats must be so labeled and have a “drop” of no more than “minus-3.” 

However, in the Junior League Baseball division, bats that do not have composite materials in the barrel (i.e., all metal, all alloy, all wood), and meet all other applicable standards, can have ANY drop weight.
