• The league provides a helmet, bat, and catchers gear to each coach. However, many parents choose to provide this on their own due to sanitary reasons. As a volunteer organization with over 200 players and 25 teams it’s difficult to maintain all of the equipment all of the time.

If your child has baseball pants, they should wear those. You may want to wait to hear from your coach if you don't already have baseball pants so you can purchase the right color for the season. Your child should also wear a hat. Don't forget sunscreen and plenty of water. Uniforms include a shirt and a hat and will be handed out before or on Opening Day and should be worn on game days. Your team manager will also tell you what color socks and belt to purchase. 

In Minors and above, teams are formed via draft. A draft does not guarantee a player will play in the division they desire. If a player does not get drafted, they will move to the lower division. SBLL staff are prohibited from discussing the outcomes of a draft with parents or players at any time. Any questions regarding a draft should be brought up with the coach. Little League International also prohibits parents and coaches discussing the draft in any way prior to the draft taking place. Any violation to this rule may result in the player and/or coach being removed from the league. There is a league representative present to make sure that drafts are in compliance with Little League International rules.
