Sorry...where?! My 4yo just finished his first session of tball and the only thing provided was the tee and practice balls, and the coach bought those herself. We had to buy a bat, glove, helmet, uniform, and athletic shoes. He didn't have to have cleats yet and we stupidly didn't buy a bag. I think I paid about $100 for all of this getting the cheapest options at Academy because like I said, he's 4. Bats and gloves can run $200+. Not including private lessons, batting cage, catchers equipment, hotel costs, etc. that parents pay for at the higher levels. And just like competitions, parents don't get in free. It is cheaper entry than cheer, at least.
ETA: "just use your hands"?!? Do you know how fast those guys can throw a baseball, and how much it hurts to catch with your bare hands?!?

Lol yes I know how fast baseballs go. My fiancé’s big into baseball. I meant it to be facetious.
And when my sister was younger before she hit her stride with dancing, she tried all the sports. I just remember going to her games and seeing coaches dragging around bat racks, soccer ball bags, the cart with all the volleyballs, etc. that the program provided. Same thing with my HS; the school provides all the equipment. That goes for our team’s poms as well. So that’s where my assumption came from. Maybe it’s different now?
