Equipment:

NAYL has an option to loan 1st year players at the 1/2 & 3/4 levels full equipment.  At the 5/6 and 7/8 levels, limited equipment is available based on extenuating/hardship circumstances.  For loaned equipment, a check will be held as collateral and shredded or returned upon timely return of the equipment following the season. If equipment is not turned in, the check will be cashed with funds used to purchase replacement equipment.
