........ and in the South, do they use Dixie Cups?

I'd always err to the side of Safety and have my kids wear everything for the sport.

If you say either "balls" or "nuts" and are actually referring to athletic balls or nuts (cashews, peanuts, etc) and your kid laughs or giggles, I'd say he's old enough to wear a cup. Personally, I never wore one unless I was catching.

I had a high school coach that would cup check ya when you were on the bench. Sucks for those that didn't have theirs on! Used to catch ya when you weren't looking with a [ram27bat]

20 years ago, good fun.

Now, sexual harrassment and child touching.

Memories from 8th grade... "Hey, who's that guy that played for the Washington Bullets and then played for the Lakers....... Mitch....................................... KUPCHECK! (Down he goes).

Yeah...you were there![whip]

Just in case you were fast enough to catch it with your thighs...you weren't with the grip side![whip]

Funny but safe for work.

Winner!

Hope its right size????? You can always adjust it with knots if its too big????????????

After meeting your son, I'd say you better find a cup for yourself! [frypan]
