Dear Community Business Owner:

 

The Southampton Township Recreation Association (STRA) is busy preparing for the upcoming baseball/softball season.  We have begun the registration process for the 250-300 local children we anticipate for the 2011 season.  To make this possible we rely on you, our sponsors, for support.  Your generous support of STRA helps to provide not only uniforms, imprinted with your company name for each child to wear both on and off the field, but also helps offset the cost of equipment, supplies, and other expenses needed to make each season a success for our kids.

 

To our past sponsors, we say “Thank You” for supporting the thousands of children throughout our community who have participated in STRA activities in the past.  If you haven’t yet sponsored a team, we ask that you consider the value of supporting the STRA and the positive impact it has on the children.

 

If you are interested in becoming a sponsor, please fill out the sponsorship/pricing form and mail it in along with a check made payable to:Southampton Township Recreation Association.

 

Again, thank you for your continued support of STRA.  If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at:  admin@strasports.org.

 

Very truly yours,

Larry Jamerson

Sponsorship Program Coordinator

13-15 BASEBALL DIVISION
The bat may not exceed 34” in length, and the bat barrel may not exceed 2 5/8” in diameter.  All aluminum/alloy barrel bats and all composite handle (only) aluminum/alloy barrels are allowed.  Only composite barrel bats certified and marked BBCOR .50 will be allowed.  Wood barrel bats conforming to the specifications of Official Baseball Rule 1.10 are allowed. 

16-18 BASEBALL DIVISION
The bat may not exceed 34” in length and the bat barrel many not exceed 2 5/8” in diameter or be greater than a -3 length to weight ratio.  Only metal/composite bats certified and marked BBCOR .50 are allowed.  Wood barrel bats conforming to the specifications of Official Baseball Rule 1.10 are allowed. 

PENALTY

  • If the illegal bat is discovered prior to a batter completing his “at bat” the bat is simply removed from play and the “at bat” continues.

  • A player who uses an illegal bat or non-conforming barrel dimension and hits a fair ball will be ruled out.  No advancement on the bases will be allowed, and any outs during the play shall stand.  This is an appeal play.  The “at bat” will be considered legal once a pitch is thrown to the next batter.

  • Any bat discovered prior to the game that does not conform to the above rule shall be directed to be removed immediately and not be allowed for use during the game.
