Bat Ban
WGSL instituted a successful bat ban program in
2007 for the safety of the players. All players and coaches must adhere to the following guidelines.
 It is recommended not to remove the wrapper from new bats until it has been approved by the League.
Bats may also be approved on Opening Day and prior to the start of each game.
Bats used in the League must be
marked "OFFICIAL SOFTBALL" by the manufacturer and/or bear the appropriate ASA certification mark (see
below). In addition, the following bats will not be allowed for league play: a.
All bats listed on the ASA bat ban list, b.
Bats marked triple-wall,
double-wall or composite.
Coaches
must verify all bats with the Umpire(s) prior to the start of each game. All approved bats must have a
WGSL label affixed to the bat. Any player found to be using an illegal bat prior to, during or upon completion
of their at bat within the current inning will automatically be called out and the bat will be removed from the game.
The call must take place before the first pitch is thrown to the next batter within the current inning.
