EQUIPMENT INFO
For all new members that are wanting information on gear for the season, we recommend you head down to Kirby's Sports on Cloverdale (make sure you let Kirby's know your from Cordova Bay Fastball as we like to let them know we support them!). The staff at Kirby's will make sure you have the right equipment with proper fitment for safe softball play.
Note:
- Cordova Bay Fastball supplies bats and helmets for our Learn to Play athletes. You are welcome to purchase your own helmet and bat, but there is no requirement. For other players, CBF does supply some helmets and bats per team but it is best to have your own.
- Uniforms are provided to all players.
General equipment list:
Learn To Play to U12
- Glove (U12 players play with an 11" ball so an appropriate sized glove is key)
- Helmet
- Bat
- Gear bag
- Softball cleats (Optional; runners are fine at this age)
The cost for all the necessary gear typically runs between $150 to $200.
U13 to U17
- Glove
- Helmet
- Bat
- Gear bag
- Softball cleats
- Sliding shorts
- Face guard
As an athlete moves into the U14 and up category, the ball size increases to a 12" ball and is a solid core. A glove, cleats and face guard are the only items you need to purchase. A small selection of bats, and helmets are supplied, but as the athletes get older, personal equipment is best.
If you have any questions you can email equipment@cordovabayfastball.ca for more information regarding equipment.
