Cowboy fan it may seem as if numbers two-three and four are redundent but in Pennsylvania we need answers and verification of all three questions if the athlete is going to play. If a player has a cast it must be padded and approved by the umpire before he is allowed to play. He also needs a letter from his physician allowing him to play. If a player has an eye shield it can only be clear (not tinted) and he must have a prescription from his doctor AND a Letter from his school principal allowing him to use the shield. If a player is not using a mouthpiece he must have a letter from the executive director of the PIAA allowing him not to use one. So as far as all the questions they all have a purpose. We always verify and mark the game balls, this way we know they are a legal ball and have the correct amount of air. It may seem a little tedious but over the years I've learned if you take care of the little things etc...etc....
