CIF Will Require Non-Wood BBCOR Approved Baseball Bats for the 2010-2011 Season

Information available as of December 29, 2010 indicates non-wood baseball bats that have been BBCOR certified will be commercially available starting January 1, 2011.

As a result of our partnership with Sports Authority, they have indicated their 70+ stores will have non-wood BBCOR approved bats for sale on January 1, 2011.  Some SA stores already have non-wood BBCOR bats for sale.  Other retail stores will have non-wood BBCOR bats, but we do not know their timeline for putting the bats up for sale.  Baseball bats can also be purchased on-line.  All non-wood BBCOR approved bats will have the BBCOR stamp affixed to the bat.
