I have 10 yo DD who was made catcher by default. (Other catcher got injured and no one else on the team could do it). She basically catches every game now for one of her teams. By the time the 3rd game of the day is done her legs are killing her. She's used to playing 3 or 4 games/day, but never at catcher. She has great speed right now so I'm afraid down the road this will affect her knees/legs and slow her down.
What measures can be done to protect your catcher's legs/knees? Catch less? Part of her game is the speed game. She's still young but I'd hate for that to go down the road possibly from extended catching.
thanks in advance for any advice or past experience.
