This is where, in my opinion, the schools need to do a better job informing the parents and athletes of the rules well prior to the seasons starting. It needs to be made clear than in ALL NFHS sports (at least as far as I'm aware of) jewelry is illegal and may not be worn. If we have schools addressing this issue before seasons start, maybe we have less of the "I just got it pierced" complaints.

You don't buy that excuse do you? The kids know the rules - they either forget to take it off, or don't want to. We have to enforce it.
"Coach, if she can't or won't take off the jewelry, please let me know who will be substituting for her."
