bat standards update
NSA Canada has been actively monitoring the continuing evolution of bat standards and was interested to learn that USSSA has changed their commencement date of the new bat testing standards from July 2020 and has extended it to Jan 2023.
NSA Canada as a program wants to ensure that you, the participant, stay informed as to how these changes will affect you and the products you have purchased or will do so in the future for league and tourney play.
With NSA Canada and other national programs using the lower density ball, we have always been at the forefront of participant safety, which is the primary reason for these upcoming rule changes.
Whether we agree or not with the new standards due to these North American changes, it will be what the bat manufacturers will follow due to the huge influence of USSSA in the market.
These manufacturers are a major part of our program and we will ensure that as always moving forward, NSA Canada will listen to all parties involved to continue to have the best program for all.
NSA Canada is going to continue to review the situation and make an informed and final decision on the bat standards once all the information becomes available in our market.
We currently have sanctioned the new testing standard as well as the grandfathered standard till at least Jan 2023 , but will reserve the right to make changes to this process moving forward based on any informed info that may arise and impact all parties.
Thank you for support and see you on the fields!
Thanks for supporting Smash It Sports Canada!
