I'm glad your daughter is ok GD, so scary!
My DD has the Rip-it mask and I just rec'd the new replacement chin cups I ordered. They adhere very well to the mask. The older chin cups seemed to have velcro that wore out quickly. You can also take a look at the Schutt defensive masks - very...

I'm in the Northeast and unfortunately we are still practicing indoor so no tourneys for us yet (well, we are a town travel team so we don't have the funds for indoor tourneys). Anyway, my DD (4'10", 90lbs) is a 10u pitcher and should have decent velocity for this area - low/mid 40's. She...
My daughter is 10 ('02) and was recently clocked between 41-43. She's fairly accurate with a nice flip change-up. Working on more explosiveness off the rubber and a better arm circle. Hope to cruise at 45 in the spring. She started pitching as an 8 y/o.
Best of luck! It's a fun journey.

Both companies are top notch decorators but you would have to drop ship the blank uniforms to them. You can't go wrong with either one.
Try these:
Intensity Athletics (The premier TB organization in my area uses them)
High Five Store
Augusta Sportswear, Inc.
If you contact the companies directly, they will give you a list of local vendors who carry their product.
Thanks YC. I spoke with my DD's pc last week about making one. She said that the indoor facility she works out of ordered new mats and may give me one of their old ones. I'll be happy with that!
Good thread! I'm going to make one as well. Has anyone used the "grass" indoor/outdoor carpet with an anti-slip material glued to the underside? I plan on buying a cheap pitcher's rubber and attaching it as well.
Try bakkasports.com. I ordered custom uniforms for a TB team last year from them and they are very reasonable. They have Teal as one of the color choices. boombah.com is another option.
My younger DD (9) is joining the town 10u TB ("B") team that my older DD was on last year. It was loaded with nine 9 y/o players last year. One player jumped to another team in our area but 8 are coming back. There are four kids from the 8u CP tournament team that fill out the roster. We're...
I'm in the team uniform business and this is correct. I ordered uniforms for our town 10u travel team and they are 5" inseam. Just out of curiosity, what brand are you getting?
I'm glad she is ok Amy. You are such a caring person, they are fortunate to have you as a coach. My 9 y/o DD wears a Rip-it mask. I have two friends who also have daughters that pitch but don't wear masks (ages 10 & 12). After reading this post, I sent them the link.
I agree. We have a dominant pitcher on our 10u ASA team who throws hard. We have played a MA. team that has a big, strong pitcher who throws as hard and is accurate. In three games the scores have been 1-0 (loss), 0-0 (pool game), 1-0 (win, championship game). It's fun watching the two go at it!
