Find the Perfect Glove Size

When it comes to game-day performance, the right equipment can make all the difference. One of the most common questions parents and players ask is: “What size gloves do I need?” Whether it’s catching the perfect spiral or snagging a line drive, glove size impacts comfort, control, and overall play. Here’s a quick guide to help you choose the right fit for both football and baseball.

Football Glove Sizing

Football gloves are all about grip and flexibility. The fit should be snug but not restrictive—think of them like a “second skin.” If they’re too loose, you’ll lose ball control; too tight, and they’ll restrict movement.

General Football Glove Fit Tips:

• Youth players: Focus on comfort first—gloves should allow free finger movement.
• Older players: Look for gloves with added grip technology and padding for protection.
• Always try both hands—sometimes one hand is slightly larger.

Batting Glove Sizing

Batting gloves help players maintain grip, reduce sting on contact, and add confidence at the plate. Like football gloves, they should feel snug but not overly tight.

General Batting Glove Fit Tips:

• Youth players: Look for lightweight gloves with flexibility to make swinging easier.
• Teen/Adult players: Focus on durability and tacky grip for consistent performance.
• If you’re between sizes, go with the smaller size for a tighter feel. Leather will stretch over time. 

Here is a general size guide to use as a reference.
