This is clearly meant to gain an advantage not intended by the rules - that is illegally hindering the runners opportunity to run the bases. The first time it happens, drop kick the helmet as far as you can and warn the catcher that if it happens again, his substitute will do the rest of the game. Give the coach a team warning also. Dump him too if he gives you any lip, because he is obviously coaching his kids to do something that is illegal and also very unsportsmanlike. Do not allow the catcher to use his mask as a tool to hinder the runner!
