The National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) Softball Rules Committee ammended Rule 3-2-11 and are now allowing high school softball players to wear metal cleats.

Metal cleats will allow the players to have better traction and to avoid slipping while crossing home plate.

Many players are very excited about this rule change.  Although I have heard from some former players that metal cleats aren’t as comfortable as plastic cleats.
