Funny this came up. I serve on the board of directors of our local rec girls fastpitch league. I coach as well. There was some controversy last year with regard to jewelry. To make it easier on the umps to interpret our intent, we made the rule regarding jewelry more clear. The girls may wear small stud earrings only. No other jewelry (regardless of material) is allowed. For the record, we abide by the ASA rules with regard to medic alert accessories. However, nothing in our rules prevents the umpire from ordering the removal of even stud earrings if, in his judgement, the earrings present a hazard to any player or tend to create a distraction.
Players that do not comply with this rule cannot play. Coaches are encouraged to inspect their players for compliance with this rule.
That's one of a very few local rules that have enacted. We're affiliated with ASA and try to follow the national rules as much as possible.
