The following is suggested for players, but not required:
- Baseball gear bag
- Heart protectors are becoming more popular
- Bat (bats can be provided, but many players have their own...plus it's hard to play at home without one)
Note that you will need a bat that is legal for Little League Baseball. Look for the USA Bat logo! As long as the bat has this logo, it is approved for play.
It is also important to get a bat that is the correct size. Too short of a bat will make it difficult to hit due to a small swing radius. Too heavy of a bat will make it difficult to hit due to a slow swing speed. A good rule of thumb is that a player should be able to hold the bat straight out with one hand without it drooping. If it droops, it's too heavy. Also note that bats of the same length will have different weights.
