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?

Players may not participate while wearing jewelry. Religious medals or medical alert medals are not considered jewelry. A religious medal must be taped and worn under the uniform. A medical alert medal must be taped and may be visible. Headbands and wristbands must be the predominant color of the jersey or white. When wearing headbands and/or wristbands, all players must wear the same color and wear the items as intended. Only a single item may be worn on the head and/or on each wrist. Sweatbands must be worn below the elbow and be a maximum of four inches. A single headband, if worn, must be no wider than two inches. Rubber or cloth elastic bands may be used to control hair. Undershirts must be similar in color to the jersey and shall not have frayed or ragged edges. State associations may on an individual basis, allow a player to participate while wearing a head covering, if it is worn for medical or religious reasons, provided that the covering is not abrasive, hard, or dangerous, and is attached in such a way that it is highly unlikely to come off during play. Written documentation should be available.

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...
