Each player will receive a T-Shirt or jersey and hat from the team sponsor of the league.
Pants are not provided. The league will also provide the following equipment for use at games and practices: batting helmets, catcher's gear, bats, baseballs, and bases. Players need to provide their own shoes, gloves, and protective cups.

When will the Little League season start and end, and how many games are played by each team?
Final schedules are usually posted near the end of March. It is expected that the regular season will run from late April through just after public school ends (tentative season ending date is end of June). For T-Ball and Coach pitch, the season will end on or about mid June since there are no play-offs for these divisions.

The season will be preceded by a period of team practices and practice games. Teams will generally be scheduled for two games per week. In general, the game days and times for each age division will be the same each week. During certain weeks of the year, or in order to make up rained-out games, teams may play games on Fridays or Saturdays.

For T-Ball and Coach pitch teams, the regular season is slightly different. There is generally no practice during the week, just their scheduled games during the
week. Please see the schedule section for more details about playing days/time.

We do not play games during Memorial Day weekend. Practices during the season are up to the individual coach. For Minors through Jr/Sr, the season ends with a single-elimination playoff involving all the teams.

Most teams will play 12 games. Cancellations and playoffs may make this number vary slightly.
