Had a player the other night remove his "warm up" jacket during player introductions. Our crew noticed the player had a "shooting sleeve" with a built in pad on the elbow.
I asked the coach if he had a letter from our State Official Association...WOA...and signed by an official there. (Cindy A.)
He said that he indeed did have the required paperwork at the table...and what do you know...he actually did! (Both the medical slip and WOA slip)
I told him this might be something he would want to bring up in our pre-game conference...he stated no official had even asked for the paperwork yet.
Having said all that...do other states require Official's Associations signed paperwork...or is a signed medical slip all that is needed for these shooting sleeves?
