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" for you daughter to try on before purchasing to ensure proper fit.
• Team Visor
• Team Jersey
• Team Pant
• Team Belt
• Team Socks

EQUIPMENT
Required equipment for the season include:
• Cleats
• 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

OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
• Softball face guards. Bend North Softball highly encourages the use of Softball Fielding Face-Guards/Masks. Why?
• Helmets (team helmets will be provided, but strongly encouraging parents to supply their own helmet if possible due to COVID-19)
• Bats (team bats will also be provided). Softball bats must conform to the Little League Softball Bat Standards.  Encouraging parents to supply 
   their own bats if possible due to COVID-19.  If unable to provide your own bat we will be sanitizing shared bats between batters.
• 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 due to COVID-19.  We will be     
   limiting the number of catchers in a game and sanitizing any shared gear when changing catchers.
• Baseball/softball sliders or compression shorts
• Sunglasses
