Please review the important equipment and safety information regarding the upcoming season.  

MGSL does not supply any equipment unless indicated below.

UNIFORMS

The league WILL provide team numbered shirts, socks, and visors.  Uniform alterations are NOT allowed.  All fastpitch players will provide their own black baseball pants.  T-Ball and Pigtail (Coach-Pitch) players will need white shorts or white baseball pants.

FACE MASKS (Batting Helmet and Field Mask)

Players in all fastpitch divisions are required to have a facemask on their batting helmet.  In the fastpitch divisions, infield face masks are REQUIRED for pitchers.  Infield masks are highly recommended for infielders, especially 3rd base.  Players in T-Ball and 8U (Coach-Pitch) are required to wear a batting helmet while batting and running the bases.

CATCHERS

Catchers must wear facemasks with throat protector, chest protector, and shin guards. If a catcher wears a hockey-style helmet, a throat protector is not needed.  The league will LOAN catcher equipment to teams as needed, but it’s recommended that catchers have their own catcher equipment.

BATS

All players in the fastpitch divisions must bat with a USSSA approved bat.  Bats will be checked by the USSSA Umpires.  An easy way to identify the approved bat is that it will have the 1.20 BPF or 1.15 BPF USSA thumbprint stamped on the taper of the bat.

CLEATS

Plastic/rubber softball cleats are highly recommended for all players.  Metal cleats are NOT allowed. (Athletic Shoes are good for T-Ball and 8U Coach-Pitch)

PURCHASING EQUIPMENT

If you are in the market for new and used sports equipment, SPC Sports on Mentor Ave, is a sponsor and partner of the Mentor Girls Softball League.  For in store purchases, mention you are with the Mentor Girls Softball League and receive a 10% merchandise discount!
