TCA Equipment

  • Face Mask - Protective infield face masks are required for pitchers & athletes playing the all infield positions in U9 - U17.
  • Helmet - Each athlete must have their own helmet with an attached face mask. (Can be purchased at most athletic stores)
  • Cleats - Running shoes may be worn at the U11 age group, however, there is much less traction & may cause the athlete to slip on shale/dirt/grass.  Cleats are recommended for all age groups.
  • Bat – Softball bats are provided by Twin City for the U5, U7, U9 age groups, all other age groups will be required to supply their own bat. Please have an expert at any athletic store or your coach help you purchase the correct bat for your athlete.  Bats can be expensive and if the wrong weight or length of bat is selected it might hinder your athlete instead of helping them. Using another player’s bat is discouraged as bats are expensive & it could potentially cause conflict and uncomfortable situations if the bat is accidently broken by a teammate.
  • Glove – If purchasing a new glove, it would be a good idea to talk with your coach or have an expert guide you. 
  • Batting glove  Some athletes prefer to not wear any batting gloves, this is purely optional.
  • Catcher’s equipment – A set of catchers’ equipment is provided for the U9 - U17, age groups.  If a player chooses to purchase their own equipment, again, it is discouraged to share due to cost of the equipment & sanitary reasons.
  • Medical equipment – It is the athlete’s responsibility to bring any and all of their own medical equipment with them such as inhalers, an EpiPen, insulin, etc. they may require as well as know how to use them.

If you have ANY questions about uniforms or equipment please don’t hesitate to ask your coach or contact the equipment manager.
