Baseball Pants Youth

What is your take on him
My son is 14 and is on a youth baseball team, he is a catcher, and during practice catchers are only required to wear a catchers mask while catching, I would like him to wear all the protective equipment he can, but he says he doesnt need it because it is just practice. What areas should he be worried about getting hurt in particular while catching without protection?
Right now, since the heat all he wears is pants and a tshirt. he doesnt even like wearing undies because its so hot.
That’s incredible. Doesn’t the league or the school have an official policy on protective gear? My son is only 7, and his league has rules on the wearing of protective gear for all games and practices. Specifically: cups at all times, batting helmets, and catcher’s mask and padding.
If the coach isn’t going to do his job, you need to insist that your son properly protect himself.
