whiskers_ump If the catcher is 18 years old, she does not have to wear a mask while warming up the pitcher. This came from the catcher of a very good ASA team playing in the finals of the undefeated teams. My partner and I told her to don it, or warm it (bench).
FUBLUE Posted this on another thread, but it applies here. Had a catcher (10U league ball) "freak out" after having the gear on for a while. Seems it was her first time catching in a game. Apparently, they don't make here wear it during practice. WOW!

If the 18yo is a member of the JO team playing that game, she must wear the mask. However, if not, it isn't required though it should be.
