Helmets
The following helmet rules have been taken directly from Little League’s Baseball Rulebook, Rules 1.16 and 1.17.

Use of a batting helmet by the batter, all base runners, and any player serving as a base coach is mandatory. Catchers must wear a catcher's helmet with a mask and dangling-style throat protector during infield/outfield practice, pitcher warm-ups, and during games.

All batter's and catcher's helmets must meet NOCSAE (National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment) specifications, bear an NOSCAE stamp, and have an exterior warning label.

Facemasks and c-flaps can be added to NOSCSAE-certified helmets provided installing such attachments does not modify the helmet in any way, such by drilling holes or removing padding. See Little League's webpage, Modifying Helmets with Additional Attachments: What You Need to Know for more information.

Little League recommends that no alterations be made to any type of helmet, unless the attachment is pre-installed by the manufacturer or is specifically designed for the manufacturer's helmet; in either case, the helmet must maintain its NOSCAE certification.

Spikes
The following shoe rules have been taken directly from Little League’s Baseball Rulebook, Rule 1.10 (h).

Shoes with metal spikes or cleats are not permissible at the Tee Ball, Minor League, or Major League levels. Shoes with molded cleats are permissible.

Players at the Junior and Senior League levels may wear shoes with metal spikes or cleats or molded cleats.
