I have the same question about gloves, I already have a baseball glove so can I use that for softball? Or will the ball be too big for her glove and I should just get a softball specific glove? (If there's even a difference)
Also do you guys recommend buying a pair of cleats, or will basic runners work?
I know the rules of baseball (hardball) but I'm not too sure if there are any major role changes In softball compared to hardball?
Thanks everyone!

More in regards to your questions,
I have always used a baseball glove and have no problems. But I use a big one.
I wear cleats, would recommend it. Cannot use metal studs though.
Get a softball bat. There are thousands and you can get used ones pretty cheap for starting out. There is a buy sell on facebook I think. Or go to a used sports equipment store.
The rules are essentially the same, not hard to grasp the differences.
