Now both the girls and boys follow the same policy.

The uniform number thing, I haven't seen any of that around my part. Josh, have you seen it, or have the schools started moving towards the numbers being illegal a couple years down the road?

Yes, the girls side was seatbelted two years ago (don't quote me on that).

I have not seen it around here either (although this is only my second year in Iowa. I was previously in Lexington). We did have one instance last year where the coach wrote an odd number accidentally. We corrected it before the book was approved.

I could be wrong but I'm sure the headband rule has changed from last year. Last year we did not allow multi-colored headbands and each team member must have the same color. Unless we enforced it incorrectly last year that is a change
