Baseball, known as America's pastime, has captivated kids for decades. Don't worry if your kid has never played, as many other kids haven't so your child is not at a disadvantage.  A lot of kids have only picked up a bat in the last couple of years, and every year we add more new kids to the program.  

Here are a list of some items new players will need this season:

• Mitt/Glove (See links below for additional information about choosing a mitt)
• Bat Bag
• Cleats/Shoes (WYBSA sometimes has used shoes donated to our baseball & softball league if you would like to try them before making a shoe purchase) 
• Batting helmet (softball requires a face shield/mask, baseball doesn't.  WYBSA owned helmets are available for use during  season if you are unable to make a helmet purchase)
• Bat  (We have some bats  available for player use during  season if you are unable to make a bat purchase)
• Baseballs/Softballs (1-3 balls to practice with your child at home should be good)
  • Tee-ball & Baseball Coach-Pitch will use Rawlings ROTB5 level 5 low RIF (Reduced Injury Factor).  But, level 1 low RIF baseballs are generally a little softer and may be better suited for practicing at home with younger kids just getting started.
  • Baseball 8U and older will use traditional baseballs (like Rawlings ROLB1 and Diamond DOL1)
  • Softball Coach-pitch uses 11" low RIF softies 
  • A ball will use 11" softballs
  • B, C, D ball will use 12" softballs
• Additional Items, if applicable:
  • Softball Fielder's Mask (required for softball pitchers. Some managers may suggest additional protective gear beyond the minimum requirements)
  • Baseball Catcher Protective Cup (required for male catchers)
  • Catcher's Gear (each team will have 1-2 complete sets of catcher's gear for team use. Some parents choose to purchase their own set of catcher's gear and/or catcher's mitt if their child chooses to catch long-term)
  • Batting Gloves (batting gloves are not a requirement, but they can help with grip and to prevent blisters from the repetitive motions during batting practices - especially with the 9 and older kids)
