USA SOFTBALL / ASA-APPROVED BATS - USA SOFTBALL WEBSITE

(posted on 3/15/2021 @ 1:24pm)

If you want to know what bats are approved for use in our leagues, please refer to the following links on the USA Softball website:

• Traditional composite and single wall/multi-wall aluminum/alloy bats:   www.teamusa.org/USA-Softball/Certified-Equipment/Equipment-Bats
• Non-linear bats (A non-linear bat is a bat whose structure deviates from the traditional single wall, multi-wall, and/or layered composite designs.  These bats' performances will consistently and repeatedly produce bat compression testing results softer than the existing threshold but have not produced batted ball speeds over 98mph.  Many newer model bats are non-linear.):  www.teamusa.org/USA-Softball/Certified-Equipment/Non-Linear-Bat-Compression-Thresholds

REQUIRED BAT DECALS FOR 2024 CALENDAR YEAR AVAILABLE AT PECK GYM IN JANUARY
(updated on 12/27/2023 @ 2:18pm)

All players with bats with 2023 league-issued decals must get their bats re-tested for proper compression (composite bats) and affixed with new hologram decals for the 2024 City of Fernandina Beach adult softball leagues.  2024 decals will be available at Peck Gym in January.  The 2024 decals will be valid for the entire 2024 calendar year.  One-piece single wall aluminum/alloy or wood bats that are affixed with the round orange hologram decals with "FBPRD SWA" on them do not need new decals or to be re-verified for validation of aluminum/alloy or wood construction, unless the print on the decals is no longer legible or the decals have come off of the bats.  These decals are permanent.  

Players with new bats or bats with or without former league-issued decals must also get their bats either compression tested (composite bats) or verified (single wall aluminum/alloy bats).  Bat compression testing and verification are done at Peck Gym, 510 South 10th Street in Fernandina Beach (entrance on the corner of Elm Street and South 11th Street).  Days/hours for testing/verification and more information below:

• Monday - Friday from 10:00am - 6:00pm (Monday hours are 10:00am-5:00pm during a league season)
• Please call/email John Coverdell (904-310-3351; jcoverdell@fbfl.org) to make an appointment.
• Other times/locations can be arranged.  Please call/email John to schedule alternate times/locations.
• Bat testing/verification will not be done at the Ybor Alvarez Fields on game nights.  Exception:  one piece, single wall aluminum/alloy or wood bats may be affixed with decals at the Ybor Alvarez Fields on game nights.
