This may be controversial, but is it really necessary to have your DD play with a fielders face mask? I'm sure there are strong opinions on both sides but my arguments against using them are a) its too distracting (poor viewing, uncomfortable, etc) to the infielders and b) why treat the girls differently than the boys? We would never suggest baseball youth play with a fielders face mask, why the girls? Of course I want to protect my kids/players from any injuries, but there is an inherent risk of injury in all youth sports that we/they have to live with in order to play these types of competitive games. I do have to admit that I cringe when I see 3B charging home plate during a possible bunt attempt and the girl swings away; these girls get extremely close to the batter!
