Player Handbook
This handbook provides an overview of how we play, what we wear, and the spirit in which we carry ourselves — with reverence for tradition, pride in our presentation, and a commitment to joyful competition.
Equipment

Two bat models are approved for AVBBA play: BAV-S and the BAV-T. They also offer a fielding glove that is league approved.
