Champro Optimus Select Plus Catcher's Set CBSN4Y  

The Champro Optimus Select Plus Youth Catcher's Kit (CBSN4Y) 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), complies with NFHS rules, and features an integrated built-in left shoulder protector that sets the Optimus Select Plus Chest Protector apart from every other protector in the Champro lineup. The set includes the Cannon Catcher's Helmet, the Optimus Select Plus Chest Protector, and the Optimus MVP 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 low-profile three-piece cardiac pad, one adjustable shoulder cap, and detachable groin protector, and 13.5-inch Optimus MVP leg guards. Available at SPC Sports in four colorways -- black, navy, royal, and scarlet.

The built-in left shoulder protector is the defining feature that distinguishes the Optimus Select Plus from every other chest protector in the Champro lineup -- by extending the left shoulder panel of the protector to cover the throwing shoulder, the CPN4 eliminates the gap between the top of the chest protector and the bottom of the helmet that standard protectors leave exposed, giving youth catchers integrated shoulder coverage without a separate shoulder extension or additional hardware as they develop their throwing mechanics and game awareness during this critical foundational stage of their catching education.

The low-profile full chest width three-piece cardiac pad system delivers NOCSAE Commotio Cordis certification (ND200-22) in a low-profile design that sits closer to the body than traditional high-profile cardiac pad configurations -- providing the maximum available cardiac protection standard in a properly sized youth chest protector while maintaining the natural range of motion that developing young catchers need to build proper blocking, throwing, and receiving mechanics without feeling constrained by bulky or restrictive gear.

The Cannon 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 develop their field awareness without the restricted field of view that narrower traditional designs create at the youth competitive level -- a meaningful advantage for players who are actively building the spatial awareness and pitch-reading skills that the catching position 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 youth catchers cooler and more comfortable through long game days and tournament sessions in warm weather without the heat buildup that non-ventilated designs retain -- particularly important for youth players who are still developing the physical conditioning to manage heat during demanding game situations.

The one adjustable shoulder cap included with the youth chest protector provides customizable coverage for the non-throwing shoulder, complementing the built-in left shoulder protection to give youth catchers coordinated shoulder coverage on both sides of the protector as they develop their athletic positioning and throwing mechanics behind the plate through their most formative catching seasons.

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 individual young player.

The Optimus MVP 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 extended practice sessions and game days.

The cantilever lining system in the leg guards 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 youth 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.

This product comes with a 1 Year Manufacturer Warranty.
