The Rip-it fielding masks don't work with baseballs. It says so on the box. I have a son and dd. But, I wanted one for my son as well.
Pitch counts in LL baseball also include catching, so you can't put your pitcher at catcher after the count has maxed out. All for safety!
They also cannot use Big Barrell bats in LL baseball. They usually can in travel baseball.
Throat protectors MUST be worn in regular season and tournament play.
I took the LL Ump Classes last year, they were really great!
