Equipment needs for Walnut Creek Rec League players:

Walnut Creek provides:

• Catcher protective equipment and catcher mitts.  (But you can use your own)
• Batting helmets (encourage you to get your own)
• Jersey top and cap
• Game baseballs

NOTE on Metal Cleats >>>>>>  ALL AGES UNDER the 14/15 year old division CANNOT wear metal cleats.   Only the 14/15 age division will be allowed metal cleats, since they play on fields that have “earth mounds”.

Parents will need to provide:

• Fielders glove
• A bat (or work out arrangement to borrow a bat) - Our league allows big barrel bats and we have a page on our website for details on bats.  Walnut Creek Bat Rules
• Baseball pants (No specific requirement on color, unless directed by your team coach)
• Matching pants, socks and belts, which will be directed by the coaches.
• Cleats are NOT required, but are highly recommended for 8u and above; but ANY age can wear cleats if you choose.

Coaches will need to provide:

• Baseballs for practices
• Maybe some throw-down bases
• Parents should consider “chipping-in”  to help coach with purchase of baseballs.
