SOFTBALL EQUIPMENT

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 matching team 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 Jersey
• Team Pant
• Team Belt
• Team Socks

Required

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 - Learn Why?

Optional Equipment

• Batting gloves
