Catcher conundrum
Really its a gear conundrum
This could be glove, bat or cleats too.
Catchers gear doesnt all fit the same.
Half my students end up mix and match what fits best and works best.
Helmet can be entirely different fit and visually BE a terrible problem.
Even if free still wouldnt be a smart choice!!!!
This is a MUST HAVE A CLEAR DISCUSSION befor joining any team.
Worst thing topic comes up after joining....UHHGGGG
Many times if the gear you already own is in good shape.
Use the conversation point
"We dont need new gear at this time."
Unfortunetly this can go either way.
Each family/catcher/coach will have to weigh the value of the situation to the expense
Both $$$ keeping/losing player
But most importantly the
Fit & Safety of Equiptment.
( btw sometimes boys/mens gear fits differently can be better option)
For me,
if it doesnt fit
CANT WEAR IT
if it doesnt work
WONT USE IT
GOOD LUCK !
BE SMART !
