Players will receive a team jersey and hat included in their registration and should also bring: a bottle of water, their own glove, batting helmet and bat (siblings may share helmets and bats if necessary), baseball cleats are acceptable but optional.
Parents signing their child/children up to play are encouraged to volunteer to either manage, assist or help for additional supervision (please note per Little League guidelines all managers, coaches, dugout or field parents with direct and regular contact with children are required to complete a volunteer application and have a league background check performed before assisting).
