Dd just joined a new travel team. They are all first year 10u, technically 9u I suppose. She has been playing 3rd for about a year but at practice last night the coach had her suit up and try catching. Even though she is one of the smallest girls she has just about the strongest arm and definitely the most accurate so that was his reason for having her try it. She did really well at throw downs to second and third and now he wants her to give it a go. Having said all that, I am not thrilled about it because of her size. She is 50lbs on a good day and I can just picture some 10 yo twice her size trucking over her at the plate. Any suggestions on gear? Especially helmets. I read some of the earlier posts about helmets but don't know much about catchers gear.
