i was wondering what the standard regulation is for wearing cups on the field. should all players wear them all the time at all levels?
my son's 9/10 yo adopted that rule: all players all the time.
i don't seem to recall that when i was a kid. the catcher always wore one and batters.
also: there are soft cups and hard cups. i wonder if we can get away the soft cup? seems reasonable at this level but i really don't know.
any insight into this matter would be appreciated. i was just convinced to coach a last minute group of kids and we start practice tomorrow.
