Starting a Little League Team

Though as a parent you might not be able to form a sanctioned Little League team in your area, it’s always fun to gather up your children and their friends for weekly games or practices. Once you’ve built up a team and a few scheduled weekly events, you’ll be surprised how fast your team gets noticed. To get started, you will need a place to play, and a bit of baseball equipment. If you can find a baseball diamond which is unoccupied during certain hours every week, that will be ideal. In terms of baseball equipment, you can expect other kids to bring their own gloves, and sometimes bats. Equipment you will need to purchase includes two to three bats, catcher’s protective gear and catchers mitts, bases and a pitcher’s mound marker (depending on where you play).

If you can find a place and put together the equipment, you’ll be having youth baseball games and a lot of fun in no time.
