Have You Seen In Your Area?

4. Inconsistent compliance with the rule on headband/wristband colors.
5. Headbands wider than 2 inches becoming a problem.
6. More players being allowed to wear tights.
8. Schools requesting permission for players to wear some type of headgear for protection because of a concussion.

8. Allowing a visible manufacturer's logo on the jersey.
2, 4, 5 and 6 are more of an us issue than with the kids. If we deal with those things early in the season then they stop. If no one tells them to stop, they won't. I'm planning to post some pics later today or tomorrow based on one of those ESPN H.S. playoff games I've been watching. There was a rainbow coalition of headbands on both teams (not to mention some girls wearing hair clips and, I think, earrings). It seems like a silly thing but given that it's in the rule book it looks bad when we don't take care of it.
