Champro Optimus Champion Plus Catcher's Set CBSN3Y  

The Champro Optimus Champion Plus Youth Catcher's Kit (CBSN3Y) is a NOCSAE-certified complete three-piece catching gear set built for young catchers ages 9 to 12 who need a full head-to-shin protection system that meets the NOCSAE standard for Commotio Cordis (ND200-22) and complies with NFHS rules for sanctioned competitive play. The set includes the Boss Catcher's Helmet, the Optimus Champion Plus Chest Protector, and the Optimus Pro Leg Guards -- all sized for youth catchers with a medium helmet fitting hat sizes 6 1/4 to 7, a 14.5-inch chest protector with Comfort Tri-Flex harness, two adjustable shoulder caps, and a detachable groin protector, and 13.5-inch leg guards with high-performance PE shin plates and cantilever lining. Available at SPC Sports in five colorways -- black, light grey, navy, royal, and scarlet.

The Boss Catcher's Helmet delivers 10% greater peripheral vision than most traditional catcher's helmets through a hockey-style ABS shell with improved ventilation openings and optimized geometry, so youth catchers can track pitches, see runners, and read developing plays around the infield without the restricted field of view that narrower traditional designs create -- a meaningful advantage for young catchers who are still developing the field awareness and pitch-reading skills that elite catching requires.

The AirTech ventilation system creates active airflow channels that allow air to circulate through the interior of the helmet and escape through the shell during play, keeping young catchers cooler and more comfortable through long game days and extended practice sessions in warm weather without the heat buildup that non-ventilated designs retain -- particularly important for youth catchers who are still developing the physical conditioning to manage heat during demanding game situations.

The Optimus Champion Plus Chest Protector meets the NOCSAE Commotio Cordis standard ND200-22 and NFHS rules -- the highest available cardiac protection certification for competitive catcher's chest protectors -- with a full-chest six-piece cardiac pad that maximizes cardiac zone coverage without restricting the arm movement, shoulder rotation, and throwing mechanics that youth catchers are actively learning and developing through this foundational phase of their catching education.

The Comfort Tri-Flex harness distributes the weight and load of the 14.5-inch youth chest protector across the back and shoulders through a flexible, multi-point connection system that moves with the young catcher's body rather than fighting their mechanics -- keeping the protector in the correct anatomical position through every crouch, throw, block, and pop-up without the harness shifting, pinching, or requiring mid-inning readjustment that breaks a young catcher's focus and concentration behind the plate.

Two adjustable shoulder caps are included with the youth chest protector, giving coaches and parents customizable shoulder coverage that can be positioned and adjusted to match individual body geometry and personal preference for the amount of shoulder overlap between the helmet and chest protector for each individual young catcher on the roster.

The detachable groin protector provides additional lower coverage for youth catchers and can be removed based on personal preference, league requirements, or individual comfort without affecting the performance of the main chest protector -- giving coaches and parents the flexibility to customize the protection configuration for each young player.

Memory foam ab padding in the lower section of the chest protector conforms naturally to the young catcher's midsection on every blocking situation, absorbing and distributing ball contact forces across a wider surface area than rigid foam designs -- giving youth catchers a more responsive, natural-feeling block that builds proper blocking confidence without the jarring stiffness of non-memory foam alternatives.

The Optimus Pro Leg Guards feature high-performance PE shin plate material that delivers improved flexibility and durability without any added weight -- allowing youth catchers to move in and out of the crouch, block balls in the dirt, and develop their footwork and pop-up mechanics naturally without the leg guards restricting their movements or adding fatigue-inducing mass during long practice sessions and game days.

The cantilever lining system minimizes impact transference to the shin by suspending the hard PE shell away from the leg on the impact side, creating a buffer layer that absorbs and disperses ball contact forces before they reach the shin -- protecting young catchers from the bruising and sting of direct shin contact that can discourage developing catchers from blocking aggressively during the critical early stages of learning proper blocking technique.
