I think that the reason it mentions taping it in the rules is that the issue has previously been discussed. "You can wear it and not play, or you can follow the rule that covers this instance." The state's governing body may rule an exception. They did that for a kid here with respect to mouthguards. Everyone knew about it in the assn and there was no problem with it. If the kid wants a waiver, then it would be his responsibility to pursue it.
