Equipment Swap Disclaimer

The  Down East Girls Softball League (DEGSL) is not representation of any athletic equipment.  DEGSL is not responsible for any accidents or injuries incurred by athletic equipment purchased or obtained by the parent or guardian, nor are the parties that are selling or donating equipment.

This website is only used to link parents to complete transactions to obtain, sell or donate softball equipment. 

Please use caution when selecting athletic equipment and make sure to check for: 

• Proper fit (for proper equipment fitting guidelines, click here).

• Loose hardware

• Damage to helmet liner and shell

• Damage to face mask

• Date helmet was manufactured or recertified                                                                               

Maintenance of correct fitting is essential to the use of all protective equipment.  Batting helmets must be properly maintained if they are to serve the player and provide optimal protection.

The National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment (NOCSAE) recommends recertification of helmets at least every two years by a National Athletic Equipment Reconditioner Association (NAERA). For a detailed description of the reconditioning process, please visit: www.naera.net.

*Please note when buying used helmets, once the helmet has been recertified, it may have an external sticker if the original certification logo has become illegible. Every helmet that has been recertified will have a label on the inside of the shell, under the padding, that will have the year of recertification and the name of the licensed company that performed the reconditioning and recertification.  To learn more about NOCSAE or athletic equipment safety, please visit: www.nocsae.org.
