Bicep Bands Revisited; WA officials
The following is a copy of an e-mail, from an Eastern Washington Clinician, that was asked about Bicep Bands legality....
Clinicians met in Renton last week and we discussed this issue. Our take on it is that bicep bands are illegal unless worn for medical purposes. If it is worn for medical purposes then we (WIAA & WOA) say that it can be worn but must have tape around it. Hope this clarifies it for you.

Are they sure they are not getting confused with the arm sleeve? What medical purpose would a bicep band be used for?
Peace

why the attention on the sweatband worn over the bicep or all these fashion do's and dont's. As long as it doesn't put the players at harm, which I doubt these bands do, why such a big deal?
uniform rules and regulations should not get so much attention IMO. Some officials cannot grasp the difference between Basket Interference and goaltending but they sure can micromanage the uniforms being worn during a contest. I think more attention should be paid and addressed to officiating standards regarding rules and enforcement as well as possibly setting some sort of national ratings guidelines and methods by which associations should operate than worrying if bob is wearing a band over his bicep or not. peace |
