Youth Baseball & Softball Gloves

Show Filters

Shop our range of youth baseball and softball gloves designed for younger players, from beginners learning to catch through to developing junior competition players.

Youth gloves feature smaller hand openings, shorter finger stalls and lighter, more flexible construction to help young players control and close their glove.

Our range includes Rawlings Sure Catch, Mizuno Prospect PowerClose, Rawlings Select Pro Lite and other popular youth glove models from Rawlings, Mizuno and Wilson.

Whether you're shopping for Tee Ball, Zooka, Coach Pitch, Little League or junior softball, choosing a glove that fits comfortably and is easy to close will help young players develop their catching and fielding skills.

Choosing the Right Youth Glove

The correct glove size depends on the player's age, competition, hand size and playing position.

As a general guide:

Competition Typical Age Suggested Glove Size
Tee Ball 4–7 years 9–10.5 inches
Zooka / Coach Pitch 7–10 years 10–11.5 inches
Little League Minor 8–11 years 10.5–11.5 inches
Little League Major 9–12 years 10.5–12 inches
Intermediate / Junior League 11–14 years 11–12.5 inches

These are general recommendations. The player's hand size, ability and preferred position should always be considered.

Easy-Close Gloves for Beginners

For younger players, we recommend looking at the Rawlings Sure Catch and Mizuno Prospect PowerClose ranges. Both feature designs that make closing the glove easier, helping children develop confidence when catching.

Junior softball players can also explore easy-close models such as Rawlings Sure Catch Softball, Mizuno Finch Prospect PowerClose and Wilson Flash.

Moving to a More Advanced Youth Glove

As players develop their skills and hand strength, they may benefit from a glove with more structure and durability.

The Rawlings Select Pro Lite range offers a step up for developing junior players, while our Premium Youth Gloves category includes higher-grade models for players training and competing regularly. Shop Premium Youth Gloves
