Youth Fastpitch Softball Gloves
Confidence starts with the right fit. Shop youth fastpitch softball gloves designed for developing players. Explore sizes from 10" to 12", including options with smaller hand openings, adjustable wrist closures, and flexible designs that can make catching and closing the glove easier. Choose a glove based on hand fit, position, and playing ability.
Youth Fastpitch Sizing Guide
Buying a glove that is too big is the #1 mistake parents make. A glove that is too heavy or long will slow down your daughter's hand speed and make it harder to squeeze.
1. Ages 5-9 (10.0" – 11.5")
For this age, priority #1 is the "Squeeze." These gloves are constructed with softer leather and lighter cores to ensure even small hands can snap the glove shut. Look for brands like Mizuno or Rawlings entry-level series.
2. Ages 10-12 (11.75" – 12.0")
This is the transition to Travel Ball. The ball gets harder, and the game gets faster. These players need a "Youth Pro" glove—high-quality leather that offers protection, but with a tapered wrist and finger stalls designed for a female hand that is not quite adult-sized yet.
