The first item that we will look at in softball equipment is that of the helmet. This helmet is made from material which is lightweight to hold and yet this material is very strong. The strength is needed as the force of the softball is very fast and without the helmet the players face or head would be severely injured.
To help protect the face you will find that on the front of the helmet there is a face guard. This guard makes sure that the ball will not have any chance of impacting with the face and causing massive damage.
Now having covered the face we will travel to the body. This piece of softball equipment is one that you will only see on the catcher as this person is directly behind the hitter and is liable to getting injured by the fast flying ball.
The next piece of softball equipment which we will look at is one of the more important items around. This item is that of the softball bat. As the game of softball is one that is wielded by young children the boys are preparing for baseball and the girls for softball and women you will find that there is a need for a bat which is not too heavy to wield.

A bat, a ball, some jumpers for the bases and some friends. What the hell are cleets? And why do you yanks insist on wearing those comedy oversized gloves? Can you not catch unless you have a bucket strapped to your arm?
And to the first answerer, why on earth do you want shin pads?

In the UK we call it Rounders, the girls play it at school in their P.E kit while the lads are off playing a proper sport like rugby. No pads no helmets no gloves.
Cleets, mit, bat, helmet, Spandex, Under Armor shirt, softball.

It depends on which type of softball, and what level and position you play.
If fastpitch, you will want your own helmet (just to keep from getting other players coodies) and it must have a cage if you are playing JO ball. A glove/mitt will be needed although the rules don’t require you to use one, kinda hard to play without one though. A good bat (legal for your league) if the team doesn’t furnish them. Catchers gear if you want to play that position. A good pair of cleats would help also.Balls are usually furnished by the team.
If you are gonna play slowpitch, especially at the league level, you will need an old glove, and bat, a uniform shirt with the sleeves ripped off, a tattoo on one arm that say’s BUBBA (or similar), and most importantly, Lot’s of beer!
