Rule 1, Section 7, Art. 3...(FP) Any non-adult warming up a pitcher at any location within the confines of the field shall wear an approved catcher's helmet and mask combination and throat protector.
Note that it does not say anything about whether the catcher is standing or squatting. If both players are throwing overhand, the mask is not required. You may not find it anywhere in any book, but a softball pitcher warming up is throwing underhand.
Regarding "copse". Had to look that one up. I wouldn't have passed that one on the vocabulary test.
