Required Equipment:

• T-ball glove or youth baseball/softball glove - usually 8.5 to 10 inch (at these levels all teams play with t-balls, so small gloves work fine).
• Rubber-soled soccer, baseball, or softball cleats
• Baseball or softball pants - usually black or gray, to be determined by your coach.  At the t-ball and Single A level, athletic pants are often an acceptable alternative.  Talk to your player's coach about what is expected.
•  Socks and belt - your player's coach will let you know if these are required, and what color you should get

Optional:

Most players at this age will use team helmets and bats, however some players may choose to purchase their own.

• T-ball, baseball or softball helmet 
• T-ball bat, or small baseball or softball bat (typically less than 27 inches)
• Backpack or equipment bag
  

For players assigned male at birth:  Athletic cups are optional at the t-ball and Single A levels.
