If I were in Mass I simply wouldn't enforce this rule; just as I don't enforce the NFHS rule on shinguards in soccer. If the kid doesn't want to wear them, the parents don't make him, and the coach doesn't care, why should I? Certainly not because the NFHS says so!

[/B][/QUOTE]Do you enforce the jewelry rule in basketball? If you did football,and a player didn't want to wear his helmet,would you go along with that if the parents and coach were in agreement?

Have you ever thought of the legal repercussions that you could be looking at if you ever had a disabling lower leg injury in a soccer game, and it happened to someone that you had let play without making them wear shinguards?

Do you know that if you carry sports liability insurance,you could possibly void it if you didn't enforce written safety rules?

Are there any other rules that you don't like,so you just don't bother enforcing them?

Just wondering.
