Equipment
Soft ball is considered a non high risk sport for elementary schools In Ontario,but there is alot of equipment. The back catcher has to wear a chest plate so if the back catcher misses it will not hurt his chest. The back catcher also has to wear a throat protector because if he/she didn't and the ball hit there neck/throat It would not cause any damage or injury's to there throat. The back Catcher has to wear a helmet because if the batter swings and let's go of the bat it won't cause injury to the batters head. The catcher also has to wear shin protector and a mask for the same reason.
