catcher gear youth baseball Easton Mav X Catcher's Box Set - Youth (Multiple Colors)

The youth set is designed for players ages 9-12. The leg guards typically measure 13-14 inches, and the helmet fits head circumferences from 6" to 6.75". The chest protector is sized for youth torsos with adjustable straps for a custom fit. For smaller players (under age 9), contact us for sizing guidance. For older players (12+), see the intermediate version in our catcher's gear collection.

Yes! All three pieces (helmet, chest protector, and leg guards) meet NOCSAE safety standards. The chest protector specifically meets NOCSAE standards for Commotio Cordis heart protection, making this set approved for Little League, travel ball, recreational leagues, and all levels of competitive youth baseball. Parents can have confidence this gear meets the highest safety requirements.

The Easton Phenom Youth Catcher's Set is available in multiple color options to match your team colors. Please select your preferred color from the options above. All color variants feature the same high-performance protection and comfort technologies that young catchers need.

The youth set is designed for ages 9-12 and features adjustable straps on the chest protector and leg guards to accommodate growth. Most players get 2-4 years of use from this set depending on their growth rate. The durable construction ensures the gear remains protective and functional throughout this period. When your player outgrows the youth size, we offer intermediate and adult versions of the Phenom set in our catcher's equipment collection.

Not at all! The Easton Phenom Youth set is perfect for beginners and experienced young catchers alike. The professional-grade protection helps build confidence for players new to the position, while the Multi-Hinge™ technology and superior comfort allow young athletes to focus on developing proper catching techniques. Many parents prefer investing in quality gear from the start rather than upgrading after a season. The NOCSAE certification also ensures it meets all league requirements as your player advances.

While this listing is for the complete Phenom youth box set (helmet, chest protector, and leg guards), we do carry individual catcher's gear pieces from various brands. Contact us if you need to replace a specific piece as your child grows or mix and match equipment. For the best value and matching protection, we recommend the complete set for new catchers.

To maximize the lifespan of your gear and teach good equipment care habits: (1) Wipe down all pieces with a damp cloth after each use, (2) Allow gear to air dry completely before storage - never store wet, (3) Use mild soap for deeper cleaning, avoiding harsh chemicals, (4) Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, (5) Inspect straps, buckles, and padding regularly for wear. The BioDri™ liner can be spot-cleaned to maintain freshness. Teaching young players proper equipment care builds responsibility and extends gear life.

The youth set is optimized for players ages 9-12 with leg guards measuring 13-14", helmet sizing 6-6.75", and a chest protector scaled for youth torsos. Intermediate sizing (ages 12-15) features 14.5-15.5" leg guards and larger dimensions. Adult sizing (15+) offers 16-16.5" leg guards and full adult proportions. All sizes feature identical Easton Phenom technology including Multi-Hinge™ connections, BioDri™ liners, and NOCSAE certification. Choose based on your player's age, height, and build for the best fit.

No, the Phenom Youth Catcher's Box Set includes the helmet, chest protector, and leg guards only. Catcher's mitts are sold separately to ensure proper sizing and break-in for your player's hand. We recommend pairing this set with a quality youth-sized Easton catcher's glove or exploring our full selection of youth catcher's mitts from brands like Rawlings, Marucci, and Mizuno.

Absolutely! The Easton Phenom Youth set meets all NOCSAE safety standards required for Little League, travel ball, recreational leagues, and all sanctioned youth baseball organizations. The NOCSAE certification ensures the gear meets strict safety requirements for helmets, chest protectors (including Commotio Cordis protection), and leg guards. This set is legal for use in all youth baseball leagues and tournaments.

The Easton Phenom offers professional-grade features not found in entry-level sets: Multi-Hinge™ articulation for better mobility, BioDri™ moisture-wicking for comfort, triple-density padding for superior protection, and impact-grade ABS construction for durability. While budget sets may seem attractive initially, the Phenom's superior construction means it lasts longer through multiple seasons and provides better protection for your young athlete. The enhanced comfort also helps young players focus on skill development rather than adjusting uncomfortable gear.
