jewelry in girls rec

[mdray]

had this sitch recently...6th grade girls rec league:
Game 1 - girl shows up with hair braided with beads all through the ends, beads swinging all over. I tell her she can't play wearing those. Manager of facility says he's ok with it and to let her play; tells me if I don't want to ref the game I could leave and he would see that I didn't work there again. I tell him I'm trying to ensure the safety of all the players; he says the facility has plenty of insurance and the level of play isn't going to result in anyone getting injured. He'll "take his chances".
Game 2 - three girls have stud earrings in. Manager says they can tape them over & play. He didn't want to hear anything about the rules, kids safety, etc.
Next day, I ask the assigner about this & he replies the Fed rules don't apply since it's just rec league. Tells me not to worry about it.
