Softball Info

For those that are new to playing softball, below are a few tips:

What you will need to purchase:
   - Black softball pants
   - Softball glove (you should keep a ball in the glove at all times to help with the formation of the pocket)
   - Softball cleats (not metal or soccer)
   - Face mask (mandatory for pitchers, but we recommend for any player in any position.  A face mask is a lot cheaper than dental work)

What is supplied:
   - Jersey (we ask for a deposit that will be returned when you hand back in at end of the season)
   - Helmet - BTAA supplies each team with a helmet.  If your daughter really likes the sport you may want to purchase your own for a better fit
   - Socks - BTAA gives each player a pair of yellow socks for games.  It is your option to buy more for practice.
   - Bats - BTAA supplies each team with bats.  

**  PreK/K players will be given a sun visor and t-shirt for games that they will keep at the end of the season.  

** 1st/2nd Grade players will get a sun visor to keep
