STEP UP TO THE PLATE

Whether you're coaching a youth rec team or suiting up for a competitive travel squad, having the right baseball gear isn't just about performance — it's about confidence at the plate, security in the field, and longevity in the sport. Cal Pro Sports has been outfitting Southern California players for over 40 years, carrying top brands across every category.

5 Things to Know Before Buying Baseball Gear

1.  Always try a glove on before buying — brands like Rawlings and Wilson use different leather grades that affect break-in time significantly.

2.  Check your league rules before selecting a bat. BBCOR, USA Baseball, and USSSA each have different standards — and not every Easton or Marucci bat is approved for every league.

3.  Batting helmets must fit snugly without movement. Rawlings, Easton, Mizuno, and Under Armour all offer NOCSAE-certified options at multiple price points.

4.  For youth catchers, a full protective set is non-negotiable. Rawlings, All-Star, and Easton all offer complete sets designed for younger athletes.

5.  Team orders at Cal Pro come with group discounts — coordinate with your coach before buying individually so everyone gets the best pricing.

HUDDLE UP

"Cal Pro carries helmets from Riddell and Schutt, shoulder pads from Douglas, and jerseys from Nike — all the brands serious programs rely on, with team pricing that makes the budget work."

Whether you need a single pair of receiver gloves or 50 game jerseys with custom numbers and names, Cal Pro handles it in-house with silk screening, embroidery, and tackle twill.

5 Things to Know Before Buying Football Gear

1.  Helmet certification (NOCSAE) is mandatory for organized play. Riddell and Schutt are NFL-approved; always verify the certification sticker before buying used.

2.  Shoulder pad sizing is based on chest measurement, not jersey size. Brands like Douglas and Schutt offer position-specific pads — don't assume a single size works for linemen and receivers.

3.  The NFL's own safety research consistently recommends Schutt, Riddell, and Xenith as its top-rated helmet choices — worth considering even for youth leagues.

4.  Molded cleats (Under Armour) are allowed almost everywhere. Detachable cleats may be restricted in some youth leagues — always check before purchasing.

5.  Order team uniforms at least 4–6 weeks before the season. Cal Pro's in-house customization is faster than outside vendors, but custom runs still take time.
