This is different than a number. You know you have a daughter that is going to play in a sport where no one of note is wearing such things while playing a game. You have to think someone is not going to accept her outfit and that maybe it might not fall under some rule somewhere. So in order to avoid that, talk to someone that can make an administrative decision. If a kid has a dress code at a school and your religious expression is outside fo that, would you not talk to the school administrators to get some kind of exception or understanding before you enroll in that school? I would think this is the same thing.
