    Baseball was 9 years old. Football- never.

Boys have to wear them if they play football. When they weigh in prior to each game they also "tap" their cup. No cup = your son is not allowed to play in the game. (This is ages 6 - 14)[/quote]

This was true when I played back in the day.  The "no cup for football" PP sounds pretty detailed and thoughtful, but not anything I've ever heard of before.  (Though since DS isn't football age yet and my info is decades old, so I may not be up to date.) [/quote]

Same here to they tap to see if you have one or not it's a pretty light tap. Same with my older son but they do the taps a little harder, my son always wears one, some of his friends don't so they can't play that game. This is ages (5-18)

And I feel sorry for his friends and coaches, my friends because they get taped in the nuts by the coaches,, and the coaches because they have to feel the kids down there. [/quote]

Ummm, the kids tap their own cups, the coaches listen for the sound of the knuckles on the plastic.  The coaches aren't touching the kids.  [/quote]
