Hearing a lot of rumors that USSSA are not going to mandate fielding masks - however they are going to certify which fielding masks can be used if they are.

Apparently they are doing some testing & working with the mask manufacturers at the moment with the expectation of publishing an approved list sometime in 2018.

State Director for Utrip told me same thing. Seems funny to regulate something that isn't mandatory.

I am not talking about regulating the masks, but I would like certification, so I know the masks will do what we think they are going to do.

I agree. I don't care one way or another if they're mandated. I would like to know that they do what they're supposed to, and if any particular brands are better/safer than others.

I am glad my daughter is a catcher and those 'certifications' on fielding masks may not affect my DD. Riseball is correct - it's about $$$. USSSA rules are crap.
