What you need to buy for your player
As part of your registration fee, GEAYA provides your player with a team uniform that includes a hat, jersey, socks, and a belt.
GEAYA has bats for each team, but you may purchase your own if you prefer. See below for information on what families need to provide and specific bat requirements.
-
Baseball glove: If you are unable to purchase a glove, please contact us and we will work with you to get one for your player.
- Baseball helmet.
-
Baseball pants with belt loops (typically gray): Your coach will let you know the specific team color.
- Non-breakable, refillable water bottle for practices and games.
- Sneakers or rubber/plastic cleats: No metal cleats allowed.
-
Bat with a USA logo: USA bats are the ONLY bats approved by Little League. You do not need to purchase a bat (GEAYA provides them), but if you buy one, it must have this logo.
Bat Length and Weight
Bat Length: An easy way to determine the correct length is to place the knob of the bat at the center line of the player's chest and extend one arm sideways. The end of the bat should align with the tips of their fingers.
Bat Weight: We recommend drop -8 or -12 bats. The "drop" is the difference between the length (inches) and the weight (ounces). For example, a "drop 10" bat that is 28 inches long weighs 18 ounces (28 - 10 = 18).
