Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between baseball and softball?
Softball uses a larger ball, a smaller field, and an underhand pitch, while baseball uses a smaller ball and overhand pitching. Traditionally girls often play softball and boys baseball, but both are open to all, and the core skills transfer between them.
What age can kids start baseball or softball?
Tee-ball starts as young as 4–5, where kids hit off a stationary tee and learn the basics with no pressure. That progresses to coach-pitch around 6–7, and kid-pitch a year or two later as throwing and catching develop.
What equipment does my child need to start?
A glove and comfortable athletic shoes (cleats later) are usually enough for a first season — leagues often provide bats and helmets. It's worth waiting to see if your child sticks with it before investing in a bat or your own gear.
How do I choose the right glove?
Size the glove to your child's hand and age — youth gloves are smaller and easier to close, which matters more than brand. A new leather glove needs breaking in, so give it time, and you can choose a position-specific glove later as they specialize.
Is it safe — what about getting hit by the ball?
Youth leagues use softer, reduced-impact balls at the younger levels and require batting helmets, which makes it considerably safer than many parents expect. Coaches also teach kids how to field and stand at the plate safely.
What's the difference between rec and travel ball?
Recreational ball prioritizes fun, equal playing time, and a relaxed schedule. Travel ball is competitive and tryout-based, with more practices, tournaments, and travel — a much larger commitment usually meant for older, dedicated players.
How do I find the right league for a beginner?
For a first season, look for a recreational league that guarantees playing time and bats every kid in the order, so no one stands in the outfield all game. A league that emphasizes fundamentals and fun over standings is the right speed for young players.
