What do I need for my child for the season?

Uniforms
The league will supply each child with a jersey and hat. Pants are not provided and must be purchased. Team colors will not be known until the teams have been formed.   If you are going to choose knicker style pants please ensure socks match.

Bats
It is recommended that each child has their own bat, but is not required. The league will have extras on hand during a practice or game and teammates usually share with each other. Only USA and BBCOR bats (first allowed in Intermediate 50/70) are allowed in addition to all wood bats.  more information  https://www.littleleague.org/playing-rules/bat-rules/

It is not a good idea to buy a bat with the thought that they will "grow into it". Your kid will learn bad habits trying to swing a bat that is too heavy. When in doubt, go with the lighter bat since it is easier to control.. When a heavier bat is used, the player will compensate in order to swing the bat, leading to bad swing mechanics which can be hard for a young player to break. Bad swing mechanics mean fewer balls in play and increased frustration and loss of confidence.

Helmets
All players are should have their own helmet but the league does have extras on hand as needed.


Gloves
All players are required to have their own glove and should be a quality leather glove. The cheap vinyl gloves are difficult for the kids to open and close leading to the ball bouncing out of their gloves, making it more difficult to play catch and field fly balls. The glove should be an appropriate size as well.

Shoes
It is recommended kids wear cleats (NO metal cleats). T-Ball  players may wear sneakers. 

Protective cup
Little League mandates the wearing of a protective cup (metal, fiber, or plastic type) for all males who are catching.
