Q: What does the league provide as far as uniform got my player?
A: As part of your registration costs, OBSA will provide each registered player a team jersey, team hat and color matching belt and socks. Players will be required to purchase their own pants (color to be decided by the coach) and age and size appropriate cleats at their own expense.
Q: Do I need to purchase equipment to play?
A: OBSA will provide each team a gear bag which will include a small quantity of helmets for each team and age appropriate catchers gear. However, OBSA does not provide gloves or bats for players as these are usually very specific in size and weight requirements for each player and their abilities. Most players and their parents/guardians also prefer to have their own helmets and to not share helmets between players. This truly is up to you.
Additionally, for TBall, OBSA will provide each team with a box of practice balls, a team batting "T", a set of thrown down bases, and a box of game balls. All of this (aside from the practice and game balls) are required to be turned back to the league at the end of the season with the provided loaner gear bags!
For Softball and Baseball OBSA will provide each team with a box of division appropriate practice balls, and a box of game balls. These teams are required to return their gear bags and provided equipment (aside from the practice and game balls) at the end of the season!
