If my child is right handed, does he need a left or right handed ball glove?

you get a right-handed glove for a right-handed person. it goes on your left hand, but is called right-handed because it is for right-handed players.

Complain.\nI am appalled that the teacher is forcing your son to change hands.\nI am concerned that the school maintains a policy of making left-handers use 'ink pens'. There is no justification for this, especially when there are so many alternatives. The school should know that 'ink pens' are designed only for right-handers who can pull the nib across the paper; left-handers try (unsuccessfully) to push it.\nAsk the school what equipment it has for left-handers who make up about 10% of its pupils. This could be inexpensive things such as left-handed scissors and certainly suitable desks and work-spaces. If they have not, why not?\n\nI am left-handed. I taught Science for 25 years and made sure that left-handers had the proper equipment when they were in my teaching lab.\nDo not let your son's school discriminate against left-handedness.

Same way you would if you would if you were right-handed. Look at Michael Redd, he's left-handed and has a great shot.

You answered your own question.  Try it, and you'll be called for a balk.  However, it evens out because a lefty has a much easier throw to first than a righty.

I am right-handed but use a left-handed curve. If you do have a left-handed stick, it is best to play at right wing

I'm a goalie i should know.  put the glove under your bed and leave there for a few days.  When you get it it should be able to open and close easier

I'm a junior in high school and we've won the 6A Kansas State Softball Championship the past 3 years in a row and I'm also on a traveling team.  It depends on how old you are.  If you're below the ago of 11 a regular bat and glove should do fine.  You should practice taking grounders and go to the batting cages to get in some hitting practice.  If you're older you should get a good glove and bat.  The glove should fit you but it doesn't matter on the quality of it so long as its nto going to fall apart.  I myself had used the same glove since third grade until last summer.  For the bat, I would recommend a Louisville Catalyst or Easton Synergy.  Make sure that you get a bat that is light/heavy and long/short enough for you.  Brush up on the rules as well.  All players should have cleats, regardless of age.

Have the child hold the bat straight out to the (dominant hand) side.  If the child can hold the bat there for 20 to 30 seconds, and without straining before 10 seconds then you have a properly weighted bat.  The length is somewhat tied to the weight but remember, the longer the bat the more difficult for a child to control.

And if you're trying out for first base, remember one other thing...\n\nWhen you go to the bag to receive a throw, do NOT stretch until you know what kind of throw you're going to get... I see kids go to the bag, plant their foot on and stretch out as far as they can before the throw is even made... these kids look like idiots... if the throw doesn't go where they think it's going to go, they can't adjust their body in time and the throw gets away from them.\n\nThe way to stretch for a throw is to straddle the bag with both feet, and then once you see where the throw will be, THEN stretch if you have to. I'm assuming you're right handed, so if you're not, just reverse the following procedure...\n\nIf you are going to be catching the ball on the left side of your body, plant your right foot on the bag and stretch for the throw with your left leg.\n\nif you need to catch the throw on the right side of your body, plant your left foot on the bag and stretch out with your right leg.\n\nIf the throw is coming right at you, it's easier to stretch out with your left leg while planting your right foot on the bag. That way you're not stretching 'across' your body.\n\nGood luck to you! And have fun!

From the left side of the pins instead of the right...more to the point:\n\nBrooklyn: A first ball to the left of the headpin for right-handers, to the right of it for left-handers. (crossing over)

Place the ball in a ball holder, keep out of direct sunlight and when you must handle the actual ball, wear cotton or latex gloves

They only need to wear a glove on the hand that's mainly used for grip. When going into a swing, the gloved hand is the hand that would have the most friction between the hand and the club as it slides or turns in the upswing. Micheal Jackson's one handed glove theme was purely marketing and image.

Usually stick side....but i have played against some goalies that are weaker on their glove side, but i guess it just really depends on the goalie.

I would look for a 13 inch Rawlings. Rawlings make great gloves and 13 inches is good for an outfielder especially in softball where the balls are big. Make sure you by a cream or something to break it in and make it soft and easy to squeez or else, like all gloves, it will be hard to use.

I'm left handed too but I use both depending on the situation.  If i sit next to a right handed person who is to my left, then i use my right so i am not bumping into them

the blocker should be fine to use right away.  make sure you wear the glove for several hours to break it in before using it.  i would use your old glove for the first tryout and if you feel you didn't have a great tryout switch to the new glove for the second tryout to change things up.

Believe it or not (I work in a baseball pro shop), a glove that you are most comfortable with. Outfielder's usually have longer gloves than infielders do. A good outfield glove for someone your size should be around 12 to 13 inches.
