DG,
You've been luckier than me. Two years ago when I was coaching I had two kids with great arms AND could throw strikes! (Geez, for U10 I'm happy if they can just throw stikes.) But neither could catch their own butt with their glove. But, believe it or not, I had same sitch as you. Mom asked before game. I gave similar answer to yours, except added that for me it was a safety issue (plus I pointed out how my nose wasn't exactly straight), then half way through game line drive right back at pitcher that nearly takes his glove off! No more questions from mom. Guess 'seeing was believing'.
Take care,
SD
