Hmmm. The league I've done games in only has two, but it's not 12-13 year olds, either.

When I was 14 and played, we had three at least (looking back at old photos).

I guess I'm doing 9-10 year olds.

In any case, good point. If I had a chance to stop an adult from laying out a kid (though it happened so fast), I would try, but if there's going to be a fracas, I'm not going to risk getting hurt.

As a wise man once told me, "Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6."
