Was exposed to the term when I first started to coach All Star teams 6 years ago.
Several leagues have this term, particularly with the 10 year old group just as you said as a safety issue.
We also have some leagues which require the players to wear a facemask on their batting helment and pitchers to wear a heart guard when on the mound.
Rumored that fastpitch softball pitchers may have to wear a helmet/facemask at lower age groups (7-8th grade) even though they play by fed rules.
