Buying your own equipment?
Before you buy any new equipment make sure that it meets all ASA requirements or you will not be able to use them in games or tournaments. This includes the new ruling for helmets. If you have a helmet from past years it must meet the new standards. All ASA helmets must be certified and bear the National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment (NOCSAE) stamp, have a face guard and chin strap. Bats must have the ASA stamp.
