Or you can just get her one of these???
I'm in negotiations with Nerf about a full-body suit for DD to wear when she is NOT on the ball field. Her playground injuries are seriously impacting her playing time.

Haha, I think that might impede her performance.
Like I said, not the bubble wrap type by any means
She's a brand new pitcher and this will be not only her first year pitching, but also her first year playing A ball. So I'm a tad nervous!

If she frowns on the mask, at the very least a mouth guard

She wears a mask always so that's not a problem.

Face masks are a good idea for a 10U pitcher. Several studies have shown chest protectors don't work as claimed. Shin guards? Maybe for soccer. Elbow pads aren't really necessary until girls get older.
I slip into this just before I answer the no win question from the wife: "honey do I look fat in this dress"

If your DD Frowns on a face mask at 10U get her one any way –
I don’t want to start THE Face mask discussion AGAIN but… My daughter nailed a pitcher in the head over the weekend with a line drive that would have gone to the fence. It ricocheted off the girl’s mask, took her off her feet like she was shot but no real damage.
She was shaken up – and I’ll assume a headache (I also assume they did the concussion protocol) but if she had had no mask this would be a different post.
