Youth Baseball Gloves

As a general guide:

• Ages 4 to 6 (T-ball): 9" to 10"

• Ages 7 to 9: 10" to 11"

• Ages 10 to 12: 11" to 12", depending on position

• Ages 13 and up: most players move to adult sizes in our baseball gloves collection

Every child is different, so check our youth glove size chart or visit us in store in Laval, Saint-Hubert or Ottawa for a fitting.

No. A glove that’s too big is hard to close and control, which makes catching harder and can hurt confidence. Choose a size your child can open and close easily today.

Softer, lighter leather is easier for smaller hands to close and break in, so young players can actually catch and control the ball instead of fighting a stiff glove.

Once they're comfortable with a pro-style pattern and their hand has grown enough to fill it out — usually around the early teen years, though it varies by player.

Since youth gloves use softer leather, they break in faster than adult gloves — usually just a few sessions of catch, though our Mitt Master service can speed that up if they need it game-ready right away.

A properly fitted glove is more important than room to grow — an oversized glove is harder for a young player to close and control, which can slow their development.

A basic all-around fielding glove is usually the best starting point, since most young players haven't settled into a permanent position yet.

You wear the glove on your non-throwing hand, so a right-handed thrower buys a right-hand-throw (RHT) glove and wears it on the left hand.

Yes. Shop youth fielding gloves for infield and outfield, youth first base mitts and youth catcher’s mitts.

Most youth gloves are ready to play or need very little break-in. Playing catch regularly is the best way to soften the glove. For leather youth gloves, our Mitt Master glove break-in service and glove break-in products can help.

Complete your child’s setup with a T-ball or Junior Big Barrel bat, a youth batting helmet, youth batting gloves and a bat bag.
