Westfield, Indiana, September 9, 2026 – Westfield Youth Sports (WYSI) and TUCCI LIMITED, the premier baseball and softball brand of Certor Sports, today announced a three-year partnership that names TUCCI the official team equipment partner of WYSI’s baseball and softball programs. The agreement runs through July 2029.
The partnership brings WYSI into TUCCI’s Backyard program, an invitation-only initiative built to support youth organizations in Indiana, where Certor Sports is headquartered. Through the program, WYSI families gain factory-direct pricing on TUCCI equipment through a dedicated online team store, beginning with batting helmets, along with direct access to the TUCCI team for fittings, product support and service.
For more than 15 years, TUCCI has handcrafted pro-grade wood bats used by players across Major League Baseball. The same major-league care and quality that goes into those bats carries into the bats, helmets and protective gear Westfield players will have access to through the team store.
The agreement also calls for annual on-field activations such as product demonstrations, equipment fittings and player feedback sessions, giving WYSI athletes and coaches a direct line to the people who design and build the gear.
“WYSI actively looks for partnerships that promote safety and that can help enhance a child’s experience on the diamond, field, or court,” said Kit Stetzel, Communications and Partnerships Manager, Westfield Youth Sports. “After meeting with TUCCI, this agreement made sense right away. Our travel and recreational players will now get access to top of the line equipment, the pricing available to our families is amazing, and we get a partner willing to show up and educate our parents at local events.”
Located roughly 30 minutes north of Indianapolis, Westfield Youth Sports serves hundreds of young athletes across recreational and travel programming in baseball, softball, football and other sports. The TUCCI agreement follows the organization’s June 2026 partnership with Schutt Sports, part of the Certor Sports family, which replaced WYSI’s entire recreational football helmet inventory with 5-star-rated Schutt F7 AiR Youth helmets.
“The Backyard program exists so the teams closest to us get the same equipment and the same attention we bring to every level of the game,” said Tom Burns, General Manager, TUCCI LIMITED. “Westfield is a premier youth organization that takes care of its athletes. Putting TUCCI gear in the hands of players in our own backyard is exactly what this program was built to do.”
TUCCI and WYSI will announce team store timelines and a product demo day for travel programs in the coming weeks, with the recreational season store opening ahead of spring play.
