For slow pitch, and the younger girls, I think you're ok without the plate shoes. Our pastor took a baseball from a 12 year old in the toe last Saturday, and is black and blue - may be broken. Anything over 10U, I wear all the gear.
At 10U and 8U, I don't wear the chest protector - but I wear the shinguards (thrown bats) and facemask. I'm sure I'l be told 10 times now to wear the chest protector at 10U, but I've not seen the need for it, and I HAVE been hit in the chest a few times.
