UNIFORM & EQUIPMENT GUIDELINES

Our Uniform & Equipment Guidelines

The purpose of having uniform guidelines is to promote equality among the players and teams as well as to promote Starkey Little League and give recognition to our sponsors. SLL will maintain a traditional baseball uniform style utilizing the following standards for the all recreational seasons:

INCLUDED WITH REGISTRATION:

  1. Shirt: Each player will be provided a numbered shirt displaying the Starkey LL logo on the front and the team sponsor's name on the back. Player last name will be included on the back. No personalizations will be granted. Each team in the division will have a different color jersey.
  2. Baseball Hats: Each player and coach will be provided a baseball cap (baseball) or visor (softball) displaying the official team logo. It is a requirement by LL that all baseball players wear their uniform hat while fielding in games.
  3. Little League Patch: Spring season uniforms will also have the LL Patch affixed to the left sleeve. We do not include patches in fall.

 

NOT INCLUDED - PLAYER TO PURCHASE:
Everything else can be as cheap as you can find it at the younger ages. We encourage you check Play It Again Sports for gently used equipment or Dicks / Walmart / Amazon for new gear.

  1. Baseball Pants: The color will be chosen by the team manager. All players are expected to follow uniform requirements so all players look consistent.
  2. Socks: Socks should be a solid color that matches the team colors. This is often dictated by the team manager.
  3. Belt: “Athletic” stretch baseball belt is required to be purchased by the player for divisions AA Rookies and older, matching the team colors as dictated by team manager. Belts are optional in tee ball and A-ball and are not provided by the league (baseball pants for these ages generally are drawstring / don't have belt loops).
  4. Glove: 10 inch for tee ball / A-ball, 11-12 inch LEATHER glove for AA Rookies. See here for helpful grids
  5. BAT: Must have the USA STAMP
    1. Tee Ball: 25 or 26 inch
    2. A-ball/AA Rookies: 27 or 28 inch
    3. Tee ball bats are not made to hit real baseballs. No tee ball bats are permitted for divisions A-Ball+.
  6. CLEATS: Not required, but STRONGLY recommended for A-Ball+. Soccer cleats are better than no cleats.
  7. HELMET: Everyone needs to have their own NOCSAE approved batting helmet.
    1. Tee Ball, A-Ball and AA Rookies: SLL will be enforcing a regulation that all players must have an attached full metal facemask. Players missing appropriate helmet protection will not be permitted to bat.
    2. AAA Minors+: While not required, SLL strongly recommends using a jaw guard or full facemask for player protection.
    3. Facemasks can be purchased separately and attached to a used helmet.
  8. FIELDERS MASK: Masks are optional when playing AA Rookies or higher. Masks are not recommended for younger divisions.
  9. PROTECTIVE CUP: All boys A-Ball+ are required to wear a cup.
  10. BATTING GLOVES: Not required.
  11. WATER JUG: Our practices can get hot and tiring - bring lots of water!
  12. BASEBALL BAG: You’ll need a baseball bag to hold all of your gear!

 

*We supply catcher's gear to each of our teams.
*PLEASE label all of your child's gear with their name!
