Are Baseball Canada's 11U rules mandatory, and what do they say about bats?

Baseball Canada's 11U rules are labelled "Guidelines Only". Baseball Canada does not hold an 11U championship, so the 11U rules were removed from its Rules & Regulations for Championships before the 2024 season. The 11U Reference Rules page keeps them as of the 2023 rulebook.

The pitch count limits for 11U remain in the Rules & Regulations for Championships, because 11U pitchers may pitch in Baseball Canada 13U Championships.

Baseball Canada's 11U guidelines do not set a bat standard. Their bat rules item says to contact the provincial office for more information. They also do not describe coach pitch or machine pitch formats.
