What's in MY Softball Bag?

Being a former player and current coach, these are my favorite helpful items that I keep in my softball bag to make life easier both on and off the field! 

Choosing the right softball equipment is hard.

Helpful links and buying guides for coaches, parents, and players looking for a little help. 

If you are going to spend your money, do it right the first time. 

Let’s make sure you have all the facts and pick the right equipment before making such important investments.

You guys all KNOW that I am the Queen of being overprepared. Check out this quick list of items that live in my softball bag and be prepared for the upcoming season!

Your softball bag is your toolkit for success, holding more than just gloves and bats. It’s ensuring you’re primed for any situation. From staying hydrated with a water bottle to safeguarding your skin with sunscreen, every item serves a purpose. Snacks fuel your energy, a first aid kit mends minor wounds, and some SPF must-haves prevent accidental oopsies.

Being prepared isn’t just a strategy; it’s a mindset that transforms challenges into opportunities. So, sling that softball bag over your shoulder and be ready for whatever the diamond throws your way.

SPF PART POWDER

Ok, ok - my last SPF product - are you sensing a theme? Let's face it, there's nothing more tragic than a peeling scalp part stealing the show on the diamond. Trust me, your hair and your game deserve better protection than a sunburned part making a solo debut!

This tiny miracle stick keeps those locks in check, so you can make plays and look fabulous doing it. The best part? It's only $2!

MINI FIRST AID KIT

Softball raspberries are real, and they're not as delicious as they sound! Better to be prepared with some Band-Aids and antiseptic wipes than walking around with a badge of honor that's more painful than impressive. So, grab that mini first aid kit, because in this game, we wear our scars on the inside – and keep those raspberries to the fruit aisle!

QUICK DRY TOWEL

If there's one thing I've learned from years on the field, it's that a soggy softball is like a sad taco - nobody wants that! That's where a quick-dry towel steps in by saving us from the embarrassing fate of looking like a drowned rat. Plus, let's not forget the bonus points for saving your face from that post-game sweat. I like this one because it can hang on the outside of your bag, and will dry in the case it comes in!

WATERPROOF PORTABLE SPEAKER

Adding a waterproof mini speaker to your softball bag is like having a home run playlist that can withstand a rain delay. It's the MVP (Most Valuable Player) of the dugout, turning those post-game huddles into dance parties and ensuring that even Mother Nature can't rain on our parade. So, grab your bats, gloves, and this speaker – because every softball player deserves a soundtrack as epic as their swings!

I love this charger because it has two cords built in (both Android and IPhone) and its about the same size as 4-5 credit cards! This battery will give you about 1.5 phone charges!

I have been drinking this brand of electrolytes for YEARS. I love them on long lesson days or when I play! They're a game-changer because they don't have any of that fake stuff - no artificial flavors or colors. Keeping you hydrated and focused without any weird additives? It's like a home run for your body and performance on the field!

I highly recommend tossing a bunch of these protein bars with minimal ingredients into your softball bags. They're perfect for a quick energy boost between innings and won't leave you feeling weighed down. Plus, keeping it simple with the ingredients means you're fueling up without any unnecessary junk. Game on!
