broken nose

[daveg144]

Hey everyone,
I'm a basketball official and my daughter plays high school soccer. One of her teammates broke her nose in a game last week and she attempted to play tonight with a "mask" on her face. The two AR's said it was okay, but the center referee (is that the correct term?) said no.

My guess is that she would need a letter/waiver from the state high school athletic association to wear the mask and be prepared to show the letter to the officials prior to the game.

She wants to play but her parents are not sure what course to take. If she plays, she should definitely wear a mask and if she can't wear one, she should not play.

Let me know what the rules are regarding this.
