While the league provides helmets, it’s a good idea for players to have their own helmets (for both fit and hygiene).
For guidance on glove and bat sizing, its generally recommended that for younger ages (5-8 YO’s) to err on the side of smaller versus larger. It's easier for the younger kids to manage a smaller glove or bat, and helps promote better fundamentals if they can control the equipment.
For older ages (9+), most kids will have their own gear - gloves, bats, bags, etc.
