There's nothing illegal that I can see about this type of hemet so long as it passes all the other criteria(NOCSAE symbol, etc, etc.). And in a way he's probably right about the team/individual thing. And in an even larger issue, he is the man we negotiate our contracts with, so I don't really have a problem enforcing this.

Just wondering, does anyone else has this type of local rule in regards to helmets?
I have been in places like this.
I know during the state championships, (FED ball) a few years ago, we were told specifically to NOT allow them.
At all, was the specific term.
You have to do what your hiring group/boss wants unless it directly contradicts the rules or safety.
