United States of America Cricket Association (USACA) governs cricket play in the United States. At the high school level, USACA works in conjunction with the Public School Athletic League (PSAL) in organizing a league for high school aged players. The PSAL bases its Cricket Rules and Regulations on the MCC Laws of Cricket and the ICC playing conditions for One Day International matches.
Specifically, the PSAL states to following specification for the ball to be used in high school cricket:
A cricket ball is about 9” in circumference and weighs between 5.5 and 5.75 ounces. Only one ball is used at a time, unless it is lost. The gradual degradation of the ball is an important aspect of the game.
