Wondering if any rule changings forecoming regarding the use of a 2 piece catchers mask and skull cap? Talked to a salesperson recently that said that USSSA wsd going to have a change coming in 2013, okay for 13u and older now but may not be for much longer. What about TC tournaments? Am pretty sure that high school requires the hockey style mask but have a few years before HS ball. Any information would be greatly appreicated. Thanks
2 piece catchers’ helmets will not be allowed in Alabama events for ages 12U and below. Hockey style or one piece catcher’s helmets are fine to use as long as they cover the ears.

The 2 pc catcher's equiptment is legal according to high school rules as long as they were tested together. I don't know how you could test them seperately but, it guess it is possible. These also protect the back of the neck better on a follow through swing from a batter.
Per NFHS equipment rules, catchers mask MUST have dual ear flaps. Two piece skull cap and mask is not illegal under NFHS rules.
