1. Baseball Glove
The number one rule of thumb when looking for a glove is to try a few on to make sure they fit and feel good.
2. Protective Cup
All boys are required to wear a cup under their pants for all baseball events.
3. Baseball Cleats
Rubber cleats only, metal cleats are not allowed.
4. Batting Helmet
* The batting helmet should fit snug. If the helmet moves around too much, then it’s too big.
* Helmets should sit 1 inch above the eyebrows
* Helmets should sit evenly on your head, not be pointed upwards or downwards
* All helmets should be stamped with the NOCSAE certification.
* When buying a helmet with a C-Flat, Jaw Guard or Extension make sure it is NOCSAE certified and allowed for use at HTRBA like the:
1. Boombah DEFCON helmet and face guard
2. Rawlings Mach helmet and EXT flap
3. Easton Pro with Jaw Guard
Mixing manufacturer's helmets with different manufacturer's jaw guards will void the NOCSAE certification and will not be legal to use at HTRBA or any other Little League.
5. Bat
All bats must have the USA Baseball stamp on them as shown below. Any other bats are prohibited from use in Little League practices or games.
* The bat should reach, but not exceed, your child’s hip.
* Bat weight is measured in minus or drop weight. The difference between the length and weight of the bat. A 30-inch bat that ways 20 ounces is a drop 10 or –10. The larger the drop weight the lighter the bat.
