Parent's Guide: Youth Catcher Sizing
Buying gear for a growing player is tricky. Youth gear is designed for players roughly Ages 9-12. For players 8 and under, look for "Junior Youth" tags, though standard Youth gear can often be adjusted down.
1. Chest Protector (12" – 14")
This is the most critical measurement. Measure from the base of the neck to the navel. A Youth chest protector is usually 14" long. If your player measures 13" or 14", this is the perfect fit. It must cover the collarbones and ribs completely.
2. Leg Guards (12" – 14")
Measure from the middle of the knee to the ankle bone. Youth leg guards are shorter and narrower than adult guards to allow the player to run and block without tripping over bulky plastic.
