Softball

When you play softball there is a lot of different types of gear you need to play depending on your position. Every player needs spikes though.When you're in out field you need an out fielders glove, which is longer also the ball can cradle into the mitt. In the infield, the basemen and the pitcher need an infield glove, which is shorter, so when you get the ball you can just pick it up and throw. The catcher needs the most equipment out of any other player. They need a helmet to protect their head, shin pads, rib pads and or guard, a catchers glove, and a good arm to throwthe ball to all the bases. When you're batting you need a helmet, a bat, and of course a ball. You can use batting gloves if you like, but they are not required. There is a lot of things needed to play the game. What sport do you like to play, and what type of equipment is needed? Are there different things needed for different positions?

Softball is an amazing sport!!! I love playing softball. For softball I needed a mitt and a sliding pad, even though everytime I slide I slide with the leg my sliding pad wasn't on.Softball was fun with you last year and I can't wait until we play again next year. I need my crack attack on my team to make me laugh and fall down in the gym because I can't laugh and run at the same time! We have really good times on the softball team.

I like to play soccer and softball with my friends. For soccer you need spikes, shin guards, and soccer socks. Everyone needs this basic stuff. The goalie needs gloves and protective shirt and pant so they can slide and get the ball. Also,softball is not a girly sport.

The sport that I play is tennis. The equipment you need is tennis balls, racquet's, bag, and strings. No, there is not diiferent equipment needed for different positions because there really are no positions!
