If the player argues then she goes out and we tell the coach.

You're right. For liability sake you should tell them only that they cannot play with jewelry on. It is up to them and their coach how to recitfy that situation. Don't know if it is a wives tale o not but rumor is a ref in another part of the state go sued because he told the girl to take the earring out, and it got infected. It is all semantics.

In fact, I have had kids ask if I am telling them to take it out, and I say no. All I am saying is you cannot play with it in.
