NFHS Rule 11-5-Art. 2: Metal spikes must meet the following guidelines:
a. Metal spikes may not be worn on the elbow, hand, finger, wrist or forearm; even though covered with soft padding.
b. Metal spikes on the upper arm or shoulder must be padded.
NOTE: Each state association may authorize the use of metal spikes which in its opinion do not place an opponent at a disadvantage.
By rule, forearms? No. Upper arm, or shoulder? Yes, if padded. Unless, of course, you're in a state where your association has authorized the use of metal spikes.
