WHAT GEAR DOES MY DAUGHTER NEED?

A common question that parents always have is what gear is provided and what gear do I need to buy or borrow to ensure a great little league season. Some answers to this question are provided below.

APPAREL
Parents will purchase team matching uniforms through a dealer site once teams have been formed. BNLL will hold "Uniform Try-On Dates" at the Assessment for you daughter to try on before purchasing to ensure proper fit.
• Team Visor
• Team Jersey
• Team Pant
• Team Belt
• Team Socks

REQUIRED EQUIPMENT
Required equipment for the season include:
• Cleats (no metal spikes)
• Softball Glove. The biggest mistake in selecting a fastpitch softball glove for a new or young player is that parents buy a glove that is too big,
  hoping the player will grow into it. Read more on Youth Softball Glove Size Chart
• Softball Fielding Face Guards. Bend North Softball highly encourages the use of Softball Fielding Face-Guards/Masks. Why?


OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT

• Helmets. Team helmets will be provided, but we encourage parents to supply their own helmet if possible.
• Bats. Team bats will also be provided, but we encourage parents to supply their own bats if possible. Softball bats must conform to the Little League Softball Bat Standards.  
• Batting gloves
• Equipment bag (backpack or duffel)
• Catcher's gear (team gear will also be provided).  Encouraging catchers to provide their own catcher's gear if possible.
• Baseball/softball sliders or compression shorts
• Sunglasses
