The BEST Baseball Tournament Packing List

Baseball tournaments are exciting but can also be quite demanding. To make the most of your experience, it's crucial to come prepared.

Packing the right gear can significantly impact your performance and overall enjoyment of the tournament. We’ve created the ultimate baseball tournament packing list so that you can show up prepared for every event!

Essential Items

1. Camping Chair: If seating is not provided at the venue, a camping chair is useful for resting between games.
2. Protective Gear: This includes knee pads, shin pads, elbow pads, guards, and helmets (for hardball). In slo-pitch, infielders are recommended to wear face masks for protection.
3. Extra Balls: These are necessary for batting practice and warmups.
4. First Aid Kit: Crucial in case of any minor injuries during the game.
5. Sunscreen & Bug Spray: Protect your skin from sunburn and insect bites during outdoor games.

Clothing & Accessories

1. Extra Jerseys & Other Clothes: An extra change of jerseys, shirts, socks, pants/shorts or sliding shorts and hoodie may come in handy if you sweat a lot or get dirty during play.

2. Headbands & Sweat Towels: These items are especially useful during long hot summer tournaments.

   

Recovery Tools

1. Massage Gun: Having this tool can help alleviate muscle pains between games and keep your body loose.
2. Foam Roller: Stretch out your legs between games with a foam roller.

Administrative Essentials

1. Cash For Tournament Protest Fees: You might need cash on hand if there's a dispute about a game's result.
2. Pens, Scorebook & Lineup Cards: Keeping track of game progress is crucial. Be sure to hang on to all of your scorecards until the tournament is over.

Food & Drinks

1. Snacks: Pack plenty of snacks and drinks to last you throughout the day! Some great snack ideas include:
   • Granola bars: Nutrigrains bars, Protein bars
   • Protein: Beef Jerky, mixed nuts, sunflower seeds
   • Other Snacks: Rice Krispies Squares, Goldfish, little oranges, grapes, and muffins
2. Lots of Water: Staying hydrated during each game is essential.
   • Most baseball facilities will check your cooler on the way in, so make sure you are not packing alcoholic beverages! Stay hydrated and pack water, Gatorade, hydration drinks, juice boxes, and sodas in your cooler.
3. Ice Packs: These are important not only for cooling your food and drinksbut also in case of minor injuries.

Bonus Packing Step

1. Set out your clothes for the morning you leave. This will save time and stress on the day of the tournament.

   

2. Ensure all baseball gear including bats, batting gloves and cleats are packed in your baseball bag and ready for game time.
