Required Gear

What gear does my child need to play Little League?

This is general guidance for what parents need to supply. Always check with your coach for details or if you have any questions.
These items can be bought new or used. Always inspect used equipment for wear and discard damaged equipment.
Gear swapping is highly encouraged - pass on still-good used gear to a younger CLL player!
Used equipment stores are also a fantastic place to find gently-used gear, such as Back in the Game Sports Consignment.
