As far as equipment, your player will need the following: 

• Baseball pants (your coach will communicate what color)

•  Bat

•  Cleats (no metal cleats)
•  Softball Only: Face masks (recommended)
•  Baseball/Softball Gear Bag

There are limitless additional gear options that you may purchase for your child like: batting gloves, protective sleeves, heart guard shirts, sliding pants, etc. While these are not required by the League, many families purchase these to provide a safer, more comfortable experience for their player.
