Youth Softball Glove
RequiredA properly sized glove makes catching dramatically easier — too big and you lose control, too small and balls pop out.
Batting Tee (Adjustable)
RequiredThe single best tool for improving your swing — lets you repeat perfect contact without needing a pitcher, same tool college players use daily.
Jugs Lite-Flite Practice Softballs (12-Pack)
Foam practice balls are safe for solo indoor hitting and reduce the risk of injury while learning — lets you get hundreds of extra reps at home.
