Appropriate size for a beginner?
Jim
The Nokona Alpha Select Series: S50 Youth features a 9.00 +/- inch pattern and a youth fit which would be ideal for a younger player.
John P.
My son is 7 years old and in his first year of Confederate. Will this glove be suitable in size for him for the next 2-3 years?
Kevin
The Nokona Alpha Select Series (S50 Youth) is a 9" glove and will probably be too small for your son to use for the next 2-3 years.
Jake
What is a good age range for this glove?
Byron
Typically, a 9" glove, like the Nokona Alpha Select Series: S50 Youth, will be used by players about 7 and younger.
Jason
Is this glove ideal for a 5 year old Tee Baller?
Ross S
If you were looking to get a glove with the highest quality leather on it that will also have the best opportunity of fitting a 5 year old tee ball player, I would recommend this Nokona Alpha Select Series (S50 Youth).
Ben
Would this glove be appropriate for a child just turning 5? He has a small Rawlings glove but has difficulty closing it because his hand is small. is this glove already broken in? What glove would you recommend at this age for your child?
brad blalock
For a 5 year old player, we would recommend a glove at 9.00 inches. The Nokona Alpha Select 9" Youth Baseball Glove: S-50 would be an excellent option to thus consider for your player. As for the game readiness of the glove, it will likely require some slight break-in.
Cameron
I’d like to have this engraved with the name Davis on it. I’m not godfather . He’s due on Christmas. Can we make this happen?
Geff French
Unfortunately we do not offer engraving on this glove currently.
