The thread about catcher's mitts triggered another thought about player's gloves. Coaches, when was the last time you checked your players gloves? Parents, when was the last time you checked your daughter's glove?
Some of the biggest issues I find with players and their glove is they do not know about using the the thumb loop in the glove. I've seen HS players who've never used it and are amazed at how much better the glove feels on their hand. I've found gloves with broken laces, loose laces or stretched laces. The glove is a player's most important piece of equipment. Take a few minutes and check them regularly for anything that is worn or broken.
I carry repair laces and tools with me to fix my players gloves if they need it. They are cheap to buy at a sporting goods store.
