My son really likes those customized batting helmets with the flaming baseballs, etc.. Can he use one at the South Oldham Little League?
Unfortunately, no. Little Leagues throughout the country were notified in 2005 that batting helmet manufacturers would not stand behind any batting helmet that had been altered by being painted or by having stickers applied to it. This raised significant liability concerns, and these helmets have been banned from Little League competition ever since. SOLL umpires are instructed to require any player wearing one of these helmets to change helmets. Note that this ban DOES NOT include multi-colored helmets that are manufactured and sold that way.
