We STRONGLY recommend that players in
Intramurals
and above purchase and wear:
Sliding Shorts- Also known as compression pants,
they are worn under uniform pants or shorts.
Sliding Knee Pad(s)- Knee pads protect the knees and shins
from scraps and bruises during play.
Mouth Guard- Protect the pearly whites during defensive
play.
These items protect the player and give them the confidence to get down and
dirty and play hard.
IF YOU CHOSE TO PURCHASE YOUR DAUGHTER HER OWN:
HELMET-
 It
must meet a few requirements:
It must fit properly, have a face mask and chin strap.
It must be NOCSAE approved. (National
Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment)
The NOCSAE seal must appear on the
helmet as well as the face mask.
BAT-
Make sure you get a FASTPITCH bat.
Only Single Wall Aluminum bats in Del Val
(Travel) play.
Have it properly fit for the player for length and weight.
We recommend you go light.
Light bats
promote good bat speed and a proper swing!
Make sure it's legal for use! go to:
www.softball.org/about/certified_equipment.asp
This really comes into play for travel and school ball.

SPIKES-
NO METAL SPIKES ARE ALLOWED!!!
Spikes should fit properly. "All Turf" or
standard spike is up to athlete. Some spikes are available with the spikes
at the front set in a circular pattern to minimize knee injury due to spike
lock.
GLOVE-
Should fit snuggly and be sized to the player.
As players gets older and settles into a few positions that she plays, the
glove may be position specific, such as a catcher mitt, first baseman's
glove, outfielders glove....

 FACE
PROTECTOR( "D Mask")-

line drives.
Good idea for "corner" players,(first & third) and very good
idea for pitchers. See video at: E
