The All-Star Top Star Catching Kit for ages 9 to 12 delivers a significant step up in quality and protection over entry-level kits, giving developing catchers a complete, coordinated set of gear. It includes an S7-equipped helmet, chest protector, leg guards, and throat guard, all NOCSAE certified and offered in a range of team colors. For competitive youth travel and school programs, it's the right choice to outfit a catcher who's logging real innings.

Key features & specs:

• Complete kit: S7 helmet, chest protector, leg guards, and throat guard
• Sized for catchers ages 9-12
• NOCSAE-certified components for sanctioned youth competition
• Top Star series quality across every piece
• Available in multiple team colors

Coach's tip: A matched kit ensures the pieces work together and fit the age group, but always double-check the helmet fit since head sizes vary most. Let all padding air-dry completely after each use, wipe the shells and cage down with a damp cloth, and store the components loosely so the foam retains its cushioning.

The All-Star CPCC-TS-1216 Top Star chest protector is a meaningful step up for catchers ages 12 to 16, offering improved protection and a more refined fit than entry-level options. As pitch speeds increase through these years, the added coverage and comfort help catchers stay confident blocking and receiving, making it a popular mid-tier choice for competitive travel and high school programs that want better gear without jumping to a pro-level price.

Key features & specs:

• Sized for catchers ages 12-16 with an upgraded fit over entry-level models
• Enhanced foam padding for chest, shoulder, and collarbone coverage
• NOCSAE-certified for sanctioned high school and youth play
• Adjustable harness system for a secure, custom fit
• Available in multiple team colors

Coach's tip: The Top Star line is a great fit for catchers who have outgrown their first set of gear and are catching more innings, so size up carefully for a growing player. Air-dry the padding after every use, wipe the shell with a damp cloth, and store it flat or hanging to preserve the foam's protective loft.

The All-Star CPCC-TS-79 Top Star chest protector brings genuine Top Star quality to the youngest catching age group, ages 7 to 9. Sized specifically for small players, it delivers proper coverage of the chest, shoulders, and collarbone while staying light enough that young catchers can move freely behind the plate. For programs that want their youngest backstops in dependable, well-made gear from the start, it's a reliable, protective choice.

Key features & specs:

• Sized specifically for catchers ages 7-9 for a proper fit
• Lightweight construction that won't overwhelm young players
• NOCSAE-certified for sanctioned youth play
• Foam padding covering chest, shoulders, and collarbone
• Available in black and graphite colorways

Coach's tip: At this age, comfort and mobility keep kids engaged, so check that the protector sits snug against the collarbone without riding into the throat. Air-dry the padding fully after every use, wipe the shell down with a damp cloth, and store it loosely so the foam retains its cushioning and protective shape.

The All-Star CPCC-TS-912 Top Star chest protector delivers a quality upgrade for catchers ages 9 to 12, pairing better coverage and fit with the durability competitive youth programs need. It's the natural next step for young catchers who have moved past entry-level gear and are logging real innings in travel and school ball, offering protection and comfort that keep them locked in behind the plate through long games and tournaments.

Key features & specs:

• Sized for catchers ages 9-12 with an improved fit over basic models
• Upgraded foam padding across chest, shoulders, and collarbone
• NOCSAE-certified for sanctioned youth competition
• Adjustable harness that holds the protector securely in place
• Available in multiple team colors

Coach's tip: Confirm the protector covers the collarbone and reaches the belt line without gapping, since a proper fit does more for protection than any single feature. Let the pads air-dry completely after each outing, wipe the shell clean with a damp cloth, and store it loosely so the foam keeps its shape all season.

The All-Star LG-TS-1216 Top Star leg guards step up protection and fit for catchers ages 12 to 16, giving competitive middle school and junior varsity backstops the durable, well-fitted coverage they need across a full season. Sized for this age group, they protect the knee, shin, and instep while an articulated design and secure straps let catchers block and pop up without their guards shifting. Available in a range of team colors.

Key features & specs:

• Sized for catchers ages 12-16 with an upgraded fit over entry-level guards
• Articulated, multi-piece design for mobility and quick transitions
• Reinforced knee and shin coverage for blocking
• Secure strap system that keeps guards in place through hard use
• Available in multiple team colors

Coach's tip: The Top Star line suits catchers logging more innings, so size for a growing player and confirm the knee cap sits centered. Wipe the guards down after each use, let the straps and padding air-dry completely before storing, and inspect the strap system regularly for signs of wear.

The All-Star LG-TS-79 Top Star leg guards are built for the youngest competitive catchers, ages 7 to 9, and feature a double-knee design at a 12.5-inch length for superior protection where young players need it most. Properly scaled coverage of the knee, shin, and instep keeps kids protected during blocks and plays at the plate while staying light enough for easy movement. For serious youth programs, they're a top choice.

Key features & specs:

• Double-knee design for added protection at the point of contact
• 12.5" length sized specifically for catchers ages 7-9
• Articulated build that keeps young catchers mobile
• Secure strap system that holds guards in place
• Available in multiple team colors

Coach's tip: The double-knee pad is a real plus for kids just learning to block, so make sure the knee sits centered on the pad for full benefit. Wipe the guards down after each use, let the straps and padding air-dry completely before storing, and inspect the straps regularly for wear as young players grow.

The All-Star LG-TS-912 Top Star leg guards provide a quality mid-range upgrade for catchers ages 9 to 12 who have outgrown entry-level gear. Sized for this age group and offered in a range of team colors, they cover the knee, shin, and instep with an articulated build that supports quick blocks and pop-ups. For youth travel and competitive rec league catchers, they deliver reliable protection at a sensible price.

Key features & specs:

• Sized for catchers ages 9-12 with an improved fit over basic guards
• Articulated, multi-piece design for mobility behind the plate
• Reinforced knee and shin protection for blocking
• Secure, adjustable strap system that holds guards in place
• Available in multiple team colors

Coach's tip: Make sure the guard length doesn't overhang the ankle and the knee cap sits centered, so a young catcher can move naturally. Wipe the guards clean after every outing, air-dry the straps and padding fully before storage, and check the straps and buckles periodically for wear.

The All-Star MVP2400 features All-Star's UltraCool ventilation system to keep adult catchers cooler and more comfortable during warm-weather games. Catchers work harder than anyone on the field, and heat behind the mask wears players down late in a game — this helmet's airflow-focused design helps varsity and travel-ball catchers stay fresh and focused inning after inning, all while meeting the protection standards sanctioned play demands.

Key features & specs:

• NOCSAE certified for catcher's head protection
• UltraCool ventilation improves airflow to keep catchers cooler
• Adult fit for older and full-grown players
• Durable build for the demands of daily catching
• Available in multiple team colors
• A comfort step up for warm-weather and summer-ball schedules

Coach's tip: For hot summer tournaments, the UltraCool models pay off late in doubleheaders when a comfortable catcher stays sharper on pitch-calling and blocking. Care: Wipe the shell and pads with mild soap and water, air out the padding fully between games to manage sweat and odor, and retire any helmet that cracks or takes a significant impact.

The All-Star MVP2410 brings UltraCool ventilation to youth catchers in a properly sized shell, giving developing players the airflow they need to stay comfortable and focused in warm conditions. It's the comfort upgrade youth and middle school programs reach for when their catchers are logging long innings in summer heat — NOCSAE-certified protection paired with a cooler, more breathable fit built for younger players.

Key features & specs:

• NOCSAE certified for catcher's head protection
• UltraCool ventilation for improved airflow and cooler wear
• Youth-specific sizing for a secure, proper fit
• Durable construction for daily practice and game use
• Available in multiple team colors
• A comfort upgrade for warm-weather youth schedules

Coach's tip: A cooler, better-fitting helmet keeps young catchers behind the plate longer without fatigue — a real advantage in summer tournament formats. Care: Wipe the shell and pads with mild soap and water, air out the padding after each use to control moisture and odor, and replace any helmet that cracks or absorbs a hard impact.

All-Star Youth Knee Savers bring the same joint-protecting benefit as the adult version to younger catchers. They attach to the straps of existing leg guards and tilt the catcher's crouch to a more supportive angle, easing knee and leg fatigue so young players stay comfortable and hold proper mechanics deeper into games. For programs focused on long-term player development, they're a smart, low-cost investment in keeping developing catchers healthy behind the plate.

Key features & specs:

• Youth-size knee savers scaled for younger catchers
• Attach directly to existing leg-guard straps
• Support the crouch angle to reduce knee and leg fatigue
• Help young catchers maintain comfort and proper mechanics
• Available in five colors to match team gear

Coach's tip: Make sure a young catcher can still spring up to throw with them on — they should ease fatigue, not restrict movement. Care: Wipe clean with a damp cloth, check the strap attachment periodically, and re-secure if they loosen during play.

The All-Star MVP2310 youth catcher's helmet delivers NOCSAE-certified protection sized specifically for younger players, so developing catchers get a fit that stays put and protects properly. It's a durable, dependable choice for youth league and middle school programs that need to equip several catchers without overspending — the kind of gear that survives a full season of daily catching and keeps young players safe behind the plate.

Key features & specs:

• NOCSAE certified for catcher's head protection in sanctioned play
• Youth-specific sizing for a secure, proper fit on younger players
• Ventilated design to keep young catchers comfortable
• Durable construction built for daily practice and game use
• Available in multiple team colors
• Value pricing for equipping multiple youth catchers

Coach's tip: Fit is everything for young catchers — a helmet that's too big shifts on a foul tip, so size to the player and re-check fit as they grow. Care: Wipe the shell and padding with mild soap and water, air out after each use to control moisture and odor, and replace any helmet that cracks or absorbs a hard impact.
