Softball sliding question

Softball sliding question?

okay so i am a softball player an i play all summer and all winter and i have decided hat i like diving (sliding head first) better that sliding feet first but i get really bad cuts on my fore arm and i catch so i dont really want to add more clothing because i am alrady pretty hot but i still need to slide because they use me on the bases becasue i am fast but with these cuts its hard to slide

Other Answers:

I suppose you could get some sort of arm guard that covers your arms while you run but you can take them off when you're in the field. Other than that, I say just slide feet first.
