2026-27 NFHS POE: Player Equipment
This is from the NFHS Website on May 26, 2026:
Player Equipment – Tooth and Mouth Protectors
Tooth and mouth protectors must be properly designed and worn as intended for protective purposes. Custom-fitted or molded protectors are required; however, they must not include attachments or features unrelated to protection. Decorative or non-protective additions are prohibited due to safety concerns for both the wearer and other participants. Proper equipment compliance is essential to maintaining a safe and fair competitive environment.
The 20(19)-20 NFHS Basketball Questionaaire had a question about mouth guards and I thought I remembered a State from the Northeast (Billy, maybe you can remember.) requiring Players to wear mouth guards. But the sentence that I have highlighted in red has caught my eye. Am I missing something?
