Apparel?

[Texas Aggie]

Spiked motorcycle helmets is about all that comes to mind right now. Perhaps others can come up with one or two other things.

They cannot wear Barry Manilow T-shirts. And not just during games.

Careful: they CAN wear them, but if so they may not participate.

Juulie - you've been reading what I laughingly call "my mind". BTW - they can wear earrings if they take their ears off before play. I told a kid that once and he (yes, he - this is the 21st century) went over and asked his coach how he could do that.

So, Barry Manilow CDs make for a great gag gift in the Padgett household?

Yes - they would make me gag.

I had a 13/14 f player show up last year with newly braided hair with lots of shells on the ends.....when I informed her she couldn't play, her coach and mom went absolutely nuts.

Thankfully, the league backed me.......do you know how long that takes and how much it costs?

Oh well, gotta do it outa season I suppose!

I wonder what the liability is on something like that, if you set aside a rule like that and a girl catches a shell in the eye and loses an eye...I'm not about to find out, but I wonder...

My main concern was with earrings. In the past, someone has told me that they can put tape over their earrings and play.

Thanks

Basically anything that can hurt another player would not be allowed. That includes earrings, bobby pins, barrets, any hard hair clip, long finger nails, etc.

Oh I have no doubt that you WERE in fact told that probably by a registered/certified official...this is the same official that I want to strangle every time a coach goes "BUT THE LAST REF LET HER WEAR THEM!" That damn Last Ref sure makes my life difficult...

No they cannot wear earrings with or without tape. The only penalty is they cannot play until they remove them.

Peace
