Each child provided with team jersey, hat and socks by program.
You must supply glove, cleats, and baseball pants (gray recommended).
Helmets and bats are optional but recommended: you may use team provided bat and/or helmet if you do not purchase your own.

Games Generally last 75-90 minutes; this allows for 3-4 complete innings to be played.
For the beginning of the season, games will be coach-pitch. Later in the season, the first three pitches of each at-bat will be kid-pitch, after that, the batting team's coach pitches until the ball is put in play. Assistant coach should be placed behind the catcher.
Batters may advance multiple bases; a play ends when the ball enters infield from the outfield or when thrown out of the playing field.
The inning ends when either three outs are recorded or the batting team scores three (3) runs (whichever comes first)
