NLL Team Uniform: 
This year, Neartown will be providing each player with a team jersey and hat for the season.
Belts will be provided to all Machine Pitch, Minors and Majors

The Academy league event is a great time to purchase your player's baseball pants and other equipment and items needed for the season. Due to Covid, we are asking that all players have their own equipment which would include, helmet, glove, water bottle, and bat.

Equipment Donation and Exchange event: 
Neartown will be having an Equipment Donation and Exchange event around the same time as league weekend to help families with their baseball equipment needs. Neartown community can donate and/or exchange new or gently used baseball equipment. If you are still in need of items and need league assistance, Neartown LL has a scholarship program available.  This can be found online under the registration tab. Please note, any scholarship requests are confidential.
