Cheektowaga Youth Baseball & Softball Bat Rules

Q. Do I have to buy a bat?

A. No, We invest in new bats all the time and each coach has bats for use by any player on the team that complies with the rules. If you choose to buy a bat, please make sure that it meets the standard appropriate for their division so that they are allowed to use it.

Tampering or altering bats may violate certain federal and state laws and voids the USA Baseball certification, as well as all manufacturer warranties. Rolling is considered tampering and would void the bat’s certification and make it illegal for play. Cheektowaga Youth Baseball reserves the right to ban any equipment, including bats, at any time, including during the season, based upon a change of existing policy and/or upon new information made available to Cheektowaga Youth Baseball.
