NFHS Rule 1-6-3

[DaveASA/FED]

Bob,
I might have been to one of those rules meetings. I also might work 10-12 games a year with JJ. My favorite line is if protector has to wear one, then why doesn't right / left (pick which dugout they are outside of) fielder have to wear one? They are both equipped with a mitt and they are both facing the batter ready to "field" a ball hit at them.

Also in Fed Softball there is no rule that states they have to have a protector out there. There is a local coach that doesn't feel it is necessary to have one out there, throws a fit if you try to make him put one out there....I tell you one thing if it was my dd warming up pitching she better have someone out there watching her back.....but that is just me!!
