I can't imagine that any 9-year-old has a big enough face for any standard tuba mouthpiece. I would suggest a bass trombone mouthpiece, and move up in size as possible, as he grows. I've seen embouchures get screwed up by using a mouthpiece too big for a limited nose-to-chin distance. It's also possible to go with an extremely narrow rim so the outside is small enough.
