Who,

According to the slide presentation, an offical release of FED, skull caps are no longer acceptable or legal.

The catcher's helmet can be either a single "hockey" style or the combination mask and full head protector system.

Both these catcher's safety system must have the correct sticker or embossing.

BTW, the combination mask and separate helmet MUST BE tested and certified TOGETHER (i.e. if you had a kid with a Wilson mask and a Rawlings helmet "most likely it would be illegal").

If a mask and helmet are not by the SAME MANUFACTURER the coach is required to have the paper work of a certified TEST and certification for the two pieces being tested together.

In my area all coaches have been informed and WE ARE NOT to allow the use of a sub-standard system.

Hope this helps.
