Coaches & Teams
Screens, ball buckets, fungos, soft-toss nets & practice tools.
Coaches don't need the most gear — they need the gear that survives a season of daily reps and travels without a truck. Screens that don't tip, buckets that don't crack, and soft-toss nets that fold into a trunk do more for practice than any single gadget.
Here's the team gear we trust, plus the guides that help you spend a booster budget where it actually matters.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What's the one piece of gear every coach should own?
- An L-screen. Nothing protects a coach throwing BP or feeding a machine like a screen that won't tip, and it's the difference between a safe practice and a broken hand.
- How many baseballs does a team practice need?
- Plan for a bucket of 30 to 60 per station so you're not stopping to shag every two minutes. Dimpled machine balls for the cage, leather for live reps, and a wheeled cart if you're moving a few hundred.
- Real balls or dimpled for the machine?
- Dimpled, sting-free balls for any wheel machine — they're consistent, they don't get waterlogged, and they save your leather game balls from the wear a machine grinds in.
- Where can our team practice without a field?
- CageList lists cages you can rent by the hour. A lot of travel teams book a local backyard or facility cage for winter and rainout reps instead of paying for a full facility membership.
