As an old HS softball player who was allowed to wear metal cleats, I saw a lot of girls that got cleats to the face or someone slide up their leg when sliding into second or home. I am not sure what the advantage of metal is. The cleats are made so good now, that I just feel it is a safety issue. And as a Pediatric nurse, I would not want my daughter with any type of deep wound with all of the resistant forms of infection that are popping up now.

No way. I for one, don't care to see scars on young ladys legs from metal cleats. As the father of a softball player, I say ban them.

I'm with you! Keep them out of the high school and travel ball. If the girls make it to college, then they can worry about it there.
