FAQ

Gear Needed


Cleats

  • Molded plastic cleats adequate for all surfaces

  • Turf shoes - most efficient on turf especially if you are pitching

  • Metal spikes - for grass only, not allowed on turf fields


Bats

  • Purchase only USSSA 1.15BPF (not USA bats)

  • Use Bat Sizing Chart | JustBats.com - select “Youth” to determine bat length

  • 13U should be transitioning to -8 USSSA

  • 14U should only swing a -5 USSSA and should transition to -3 BBCOR bat (tournaments may require -3 for 14U)


Helmets

  • Ensure that there are no cracks or missing foam. Consider purchasing a higher speed rated helmet for faster pitching.
