In the summer here in Chicago (& suburbs) we get a lot of the boys and girls with beads in the hair, earrings, etc. I have had sitchs where I had the kids remove the beads before they could play, or take on a new role as asst. coach. Had one game, 6th grade girls, last game of season, and they are all dolled up to take pictures. Had to delay the game (and calm three or four mommas and grandmas down) in order to get five players ready to play.
At least it was girls.
I tell the guys "If you knew you were comin' to play ball, why did you go through all that crap (beads in hair) in the first place?"
