My opinion on this matter is that ruling is "trifling". Especially at that age, the importance should be based on safety itself, rather than the semantics of how they are followed. We should applaud the fact that shinguards are being worn rather than them not wearing them because they are uncomfortable. I think it's ridiculous to make an 8-year old think that he/she is wrong for wearing the appropriate equipment in a manner that is comfortable to them and would make them want to continue wearing them. You can address this issue in several years from now, but let the children learn the game first before they are told about the minute details of the equipment.

Again, this is TRIFLING!
