It is New Jersey after all
I love all the comments that suggest trucking the catcher is perfectly normal in HS.
It was not too many years ago you could collide with the catcher. So was sliding to take out the fielder on a double play. Now, you must slide directly into the bag. I understand about protecting players in collision plays (Cough, cough with the exception of football), but removing the aggressiveness of sliding into a bag and breaking up a double play is altering the game in a negative way imo.

Why do you say that?
