Medical Alerts - question from a coach..

[coachgbert]

Thanks everyone. I thought about using the sweat band but after six years have witnessed numerous officials ask the girls to pull up their sweat bands. I don't want to seem like I am hiding something and start off on the wrong foot.

I am going to notify the league director that I have a player with diabetes who will be wearing a medical alert bracelet and will comply with the rule for taping.

I have a letter from her doctor allowing her to compete with the diabetes that I carry with me also.

Even though it's only fourth grade I like to start the girls and their parents out with the right rules and the right explanations.

I copied (I hope that was okay with everyone), the most misunderstood rules from this board and handed them out to my parents at our first meeting.

I really appreciate all your help.

thanks again,
Coach GBert
