Players should arrive at the first practice with a glove, hat or visor, and baseball/softball pants or softball shorts, and rubber cleats. (Metal cleats may be used for league age 13 & up ONLY.) A baseball/softball bag is recommended to transport balls, bats, batting gloves, water bottles, etc.
Uniform consists of pair of baseball pants or softball pants/shorts, belt, a jersey, and a pair of baseball or softball socks. The Lake Stevens Little League will provide a hat or visor for each player and a jersey. Due to fittings, players need to provide pants/shorts, belt, and socks. Managers may suggest colors for these items.
Jerseys don't provide much warmth, so it is a good idea to purchase long-sleeve baseball/softball shirt to wear under their jersey. Note: Baseball pitchers cannot wear white sleeves.
A leather glove is a must. It is recommended to stay away from vinyl and simulated leather gloves that may be cheaper as they tend to cause the player a great deal of frustration. It is impossible to form a "pocket" in gloves made of vinyl or simulated leather causing the ball to pop out as the player tries to catch it.
All players should bring a windbreaker, jacket, or sweatshirt to every game and practice.
