Welcome to the season! Here are the individual equipment specs and needs for each age division. Coaches will have all other team equipment needed.
All glove and bat sizes are a GENERAL SUGGESTION for what most players will use. Feel free to ask your coach if your player should lean towards the smaller or larger size suggested.
The ‘drop’ of a bat is the difference in length in inches from the weight in ounces. For example, a 30″ bat weighing 20 ounces is a ‘drop 10’ (or noted as a ‘-10’ on the bat).
Remember, kids will always want a bigger bat or glove, but the smaller and lighter a bat or glove is, the more control they’ll have.
