New Balance Gear and Apparel Requirement
NLPB will not be providing or paying for shoes as part of the uniform package. Shoes involve several individual factors, including fit, comfort, and performance preferences, and allowing families to select the right option for their athlete ensures proper fit and safety.

Players are responsible for purchasing their own New Balance shoes that meet program requirements.

All NLPB players and teams are required to wear New Balance gear exclusively. This includes shoes, uniforms, practice apparel, undershirts, and socks. Our program receives 25% off all gear through the official New Balance Team Store, where NLPB will have its own dedicated page. This policy is mandatory, and failure to comply results in fines to the program. By participating in NLPB, families acknowledge and agree to adhere to this New Balance only requirement at all times.
