Both ASA and USSSA are allowing metal cleats at 14U. As the equipment buyer for our family of athletes, it just makes sense. My DD will be playing one more summer of 14U ball after her freshman year in HS. It is nice that she can stay with her team at 14U without having to buy yet another pair of cleats after her high school season (that is, if her feet don't grow AGAIN!)
In our area, Triple Crown hasn't handed down a ruling just yet on pitching distance and cleats for 14U - they should have an answer in a few weeks.
