Youth Softball Gloves

Youth softball gloves are smaller than standard size gloves to help smaller hands control the ball. Players under the age of 8 years should use a 9" size glove for the infield and an 11" size for the outfield. Players older than 8 years should use an 11" glove for outfield positions and a 9-10" for infield positions. Players 13 years and older should use a 10.5-12" glove for infielders and a 12-13" glove for outfielders.
