What size catcher's gear for my age?
Sized by age band (youth, intermediate, adult) and by measurements: chest protector by torso length, leg guards by knee-to-ankle. Helmets must carry the NOCSAE mark. Intermediate gear fits most 12 to 15 year olds; youth gear stops fitting earlier than parents expect.
