Whether you’ve enrolled your child in a Little League team for the first time or your high schooler just made varsity, empower them to succeed with the right gear. Quality sports equipment not only helps a young athlete play their best, but it also boosts their confidence and can even prevent injury. Here are a few other reasons why the right baseball gear makes all the difference.

Your Guide to Choosing the Right Baseball Gear

Understand League Requirements

Before you purchase sports equipment for your child, inquire about the legal standards upheld by your organization. This is particularly important for baseball bats, since little leagues, high schools, and college teams across the U.S. have varying standards. Ask the team coach whether the bat you purchase must be wood, or if other materials, including graphite, aluminum, or titanium, are acceptable. Doing your research ensures your child can play ball on the first day of practice.

Find the Best Fitsports equipment

A baseball player can be hindered by ill-fitting gear that leaves a lot of room for error. Everything from a helmet to batting and catching gloves to cleats must fit your child perfectly to help prevent injury. When shopping for sports equipment, always have your child try on each piece of gear before you buy it. Encourage them to run, move, or swing as they would on the field to be certain it feels snug but not too tight.

Don’t Procrastinate

Between summer camps and family vacations, it’s easy to put off sports equipment shopping until baseball season gets closer. However, waiting until the last minute makes it harder to find gear in your child’s size. If you have to special order equipment online, you run the risk of it arriving too late or not fitting properly. Picking up baseball gear now also gives your child the bonus of getting to practice with it all summer. By the time the season begins, their gear will be broken in and comfortable.
