Little League International has put a moratorium on the use of composite bats

As applied by Little League International, the moratorium disallows the use of all baseball bats constructed with composite material in its barrel unless a specific model shows in laboratory testing that it will not exceed the standard that is printed on the bat, after the bat is broken in.

SCLL will allow only those bats that have been approved to be used during games.

If you want your child to use a composite bat you will need to have the document with you to show it has been approved for use by Little League International. Here is a list of bats that have been tested and approved. This is a work in progress so this list may change as bats are added.
