FAQ Answers

When do players get their uniforms?

Uniforms will not be distributed until near the start of the season and worst case at the first game.  Uniforms are first distributed to the team's coach and the coach distributes to the team members.  Often the coach will call a pre-game practice or meeting where the uniforms will be distributed.  Don't forget your children must wear an athletic supporter and helmet, both of which you must supply.  See Equipment and Uniform.

What Equipment and Uniform must be worn?

From the WMBA Rule Book

a) Helmets must be worn at all times by batters, base runners and catchers. Minor aged assistant coaches or helpers under 14 must wear a helmet and chin strap while on the field.
b) Chinstraps on helmets must be fastened and worn properly.
c) Helmets with facemasks must be worn by the pitcher in Rookieball & Grasshopper.
d) All players must wear an athletic supporter.
e) Catcher’s equipment must consist of a chest protector, shin guards, facemask with throat protector and helmet, all of which must be worn during practice, warm-up, and games.
f) The full uniform supplied by The WMBA, consisting of hat, shirt and pants, must be worn at all times by all players while participating in a game. Any player arriving in shorts or sandals will not be allowed to play.
g) Coaches are expected to share equipment with opposing teams in situations where, due to breakage or normal wear and tear, there is insufficient safety equipment available.
h) NO player will be allowed to play wearing shoes with metal cleats except in Junior. Any player found wearing metal cleats during a game will be ejected from the game but will not serve an additional suspension.
i) Any person warming up a pitcher must wear a facemask.
