posted 03/10/2012 Little League International announced that the Nike CX2 bat (model BT0636; 2 1/4" barrel) failed a test for Bat Performance Factor (BPF) and has been banned from all Little League events. This includes practices and scrimmages.
This is a change from the previously issued waiver for this bat. Please click
HERE to see Little League's announcement or go to www.littleleague.org for more details.
This is a safety-related issue; managers, coaches and umpires will enforce compliance immediately.

HERE.
As a general rule, if your player (Majors or below) has a bat with an aluminum barrel or is made only out of wood, you have nothing to worry about; the main issue revolves around bats with composite barrels.
Juniors, Seniors and Big League have different rules than Majors and below. If you are not sure if your player's bat is in compliance, please check the rules at the link provided above.
If the website link does not answer all of the questions you may have, please contact your manager or the league.
We will strive to continue to keep you up to date of any Little League rule changes that may affect your player.
