Equipment & Uniforms

Bainbridge Island Little League equips each team with catchers gear, and a limited number of helmets and bats. Each player will also receive a hat and jersey. All players are expected to furnish their own glove, cleats, belt, socks, and pants. If you need cleats, there is a used cleat locker at the Parks & Rec Department (please call 206-842-2306 to inquire).

Players at the T-Ball and A levels are welcome to bring their own bats and helmets but are not required to do so. Players at the AA level and above are encouraged to provide their own bats and helmets. Players who do not bring their own bat and/or helmet should only use gear provided by BILL unless another player gives permission to use their personal gear.

Players who register for and are selected for All-Stars tournament play are charged an additional fee, as the jerseys and other related expenses are separate from regular season play.

USA Baseball Bat Standard

As of January 1, 2018, the new USA Baseball Bat Standard implemented by Little League International goes into effect.

Little League–approved baseball bats that were approved for use for the 2017 season will no longer be acceptable for use in any Little League game or activity starting on January 1, 2018. Bainbridge Island Little League will enforce the new standard.

Note that USSSA bats, commonly used for travel baseball, are not permitted for use in Little League and should not be brought to the field.
