Player Gear

Catcher's gear may be checked out following the tryouts. An equipment sign out/in form must be completed by each coach and verified by the Equipment Director (listed on the website) prior to the issuance of gear. Any gear inadequacy, malfunction, damage, or loss must be communicated to and coordinated with the Equipment Director as soon as possible for replacement. 

Coaches will be held accountable for missing equipment. A $200 check will be collected from each coach prior to issuance of any gear. The check will be held and returned upon confirmation of equipment return at the conclusion of the season.

Personal gloves, helmets, cleats and baseball bats are to be furnished by the player.
