But remember that the metal cleat rule for the summer season is still up to the facilities if they will allow them or not. Keep 2 sets. We had umps that didn't know the rules last year. Played 3 games in metal, 4th game ump made us switch to plastic.

On the ASA website under the umpires tab is a table that lists the differences between ASA and NFHS (which OHSAA follows) rules.
