What equipment do I need to purchase for my player? What does the league provide?
The only required item parents need to purchase for your player is a glove. Although not required, many players also have their own baseball cleats (rubber only), helmet, and bat, but each team is provided with several team helmets, bats, and catcher's equipment. Bats must be USABaseball certified.
We also STRONGLY recommend purchasing shirts including a protective pad covering sternum, heart and chest area to shield against impacts from balls, pitches, and hard hits. Please visit our partner sponsors Darrow’s Sporting Edge in Whitehouse Station or Sneakers Plus in Flemington for help with all your sporting goods needs including sizing.
Mention you are with FRB and they may offer a discount.
