Bat & Ball Guidelines for NVTBL
13u - 14u NVTBL will allow both USA and USSSA approved bats for the 2020 season. NVTBL does recommend that 14u (8th grade) players begin the transition to BBCOR bats no later than the spring/summer of their 8th grade season.
8u - 12u NVTBL will allow both USA and USSSA bats for the 2020 season. We do recognize that there are teams at certain age levels who will elect to only use USA bats. Coaches may agree ahead of games to only use USA bats for their game(s). That is totally acceptable if both coaches agree prior to the game starting. The bat rules are posted on the home page of www.NVTBLBaseball.org
