Pre-wrap around knee

[BillyMac]

NFHS Rule 3-5:
ART. 1 . . . The referee shall not permit any team member to wear equipment
or apparel which, in his/her judgment, is dangerous or confusing to other players or is not appropriate.
ART. 2 . . . Guards, casts, braces and compression sleeves must meet the
following guidelines:
a. A guard, cast or brace made of hard and unyielding leather, plaster, pliable
(soft) plastic, metal or any other hard substance may not be worn on the
elbow, hand, finger, wrist or forearm; even though covered with soft
padding.
b. Hard and unyielding items (guards, casts, braces, etc.) on the upper arm or
shoulder must be padded.
c. Knee and ankle braces are permitted but all exposed hinges must be
covered. Most over-sleeves recommended by manufacturers are
acceptable. These braces may be padded or unpadded.
d. Must be worn for medical reasons.

Coach, Player A1 has pre-wrap on her knee. Is that for medical puposes? Okay, good.

Why would you even go there? It's not a brace, cast, compression sleeve, or guard...just leave it alone. She's not breaking any rules or safety measure so just leave it alone.

Come on, how could pre-wrap be for medical reasons? It's pre-wrap... not tape, not an ace bandage, not a brace. Having said that... it's also not illegal. Let it go and play the game.
