Baseball and softball models approved to bear Little League® marks must first meet Little League specifications. To ensure all models meet the established specifications, the manufacturer/licensee is responsible for providing COR and compression test results from Southern Impact Research Center. If the average falls within acceptable parameters, balls will then be submitted for a field evaluation using age appropriate players.
When requesting a license covering baseballs/softballs please submit the following:
- Completed application. If you already have a license agreement and are simply adding new models to your existing agreement, complete the below form.
- Two (2) dozen properly stamped samples of each model to Little League Baseball and Softball for field evaluation.
- Field Evaluation Fee – $500.00 per model. Please make check payable to Little League International.
- Lab results from Southern Impact Research Center (see below). The lab requires that you submit 12 balls for each model.
- When submitting samples to the lab please be sure to request testing using “Little League Protocol.” Additionally, a letter should accompany samples indicating that these balls are being submitted with the intention of licensing with Little League Baseball and Softball.
