They have kids models coming out for Dixie and other youth ball in 2013.
The lacrosse helmet already meets the baseball standards. It looks much better than the HSM or football helmet. The objection was removing the helmet chin strap during live action. I say leave it on. The problem is finding a reputable ump willing to cross the field holding one in his left hand. Send us a pic!
