USSSA 1.15 and USABB bats will be both approved for play under Baseball Canada rules for the 11U and under categories. This allows for all previous & current 2 1/4”, 2 5/8” and 2 3/4” USSSA 1.15 certified bats to be used.

All Post Provincial Championships (Western Canada Championships and Baseball Canada National Championships) for categories 15U ‘AAA’ and above are wood or wood composite bat only Championships.

The 17U Canada Cup Championship is a wood bat only championship.

15U and 18U Girls are eligible to use up to a -5 bat with a barrel no more then 2 3/4” diameter. Girls using bats that are NOT -3 must have them clearly marked (colored tape around handle). Umpires must be notified of this bat prior to the game.

Community Leagues will follow the 'A' category bat regulations for each age group.

Where non-wood bats are permitted in 18U A, only approved “BBCOR” stamped bats will be permitted for use.
