League Equipment
Legal softballs: Brooklyn Park Recreation and Parks will provide each team with a supply of game balls as part of the league registration fee. Teams will receive their softballs at the start of the season. Each team will be responsible to ensure games balls are provided for each game. Balls do not need to be new, but clearly defined as a legal ball. Legal balls must be optic yellow in color and follow the USSSA guidelines listed below for each gender.
When a male is batting – 12-inch blue stitched Classic M ball
When a female is batting – 11-inch blue stitched Classic W ball
Legal bats: Bats will be legal for USSSA sanctioned play only if the bat is manufactured by an approved USSSA bat manufacturer on the USSSA approved bat manufacturer list and has the 2020 USSSA Certification Mark.
The previous 2014 USSSA Certification Mark as of January 1, 2023, is ineligible for USSSA Sanctioned events, but is eligible for use in USSSA league play (pictured in our rule book). Brooklyn Park and its umpires will allow the 2014 USSSA Certification Mark in league play.
