Something to think about or my two cents.
I am not a doctor but I do play one on TV; no, that's not right. I am not a doctor but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night; no, that's not right either.
Here is my two cents: The sleeve thing came to the forefront when Allen Iverson started wearing what looked to be a compression sleeve. There are medical reasons for wearing a compression sleeve on either an elbow or a knee; I know I wear the neoprene compression sleeves on my knees (it's heck getting old, ![]() I am also seeing now is compression sleeves that have an elbow pad as part of the sleeve. That raises an interesting question: Is that this a compression sleeve goverened by the "arm sleeve rule" or is it an elbow pad that we see players wearing in old pictures from the "ancient days" which are not governed by the "arm sleeve rule"? Remember, no where in NFHS R3-S5 will one find any mention of knee or elbow pads except for Article 1 which states: "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." An example could be a school's colors are red and blue and one of its players wears green knee pads and another player wears orange knee pads. NFHS R3-S5 does not prohibit this situation, nor does it prohibit this situation if we changed the knee pads to elbow pads. Therefore, are sleeves that have elbow pads in them considered "elbow pads" and not covered by R3-S5-A3? MTD, Sr.

With all due respect, I was trying to promote a discussion based upon the rules. MTD, Sr.

I suspect we will see incremental rule changes....they will be made legal and they will need to conform to headband color rules. But, they will not do it in one step. They have made several changes already.

But you are missing the point of my post. Is there or is there NOT between the old type of elbow pad and the sleeve type elbow pad? MTD, Sr.

I think the pads are there to skirt the rule in all honesty. Just make them legal so they don't need to have doctors fabricating notes for bogus medical reasons.

The following is from our Washington State Officials Association (WOA) regarding arm sleeves.
Compression Arm Sleeves Rule 3-5-3: Arm compression sleeves shall: a. Be white, black, beige or a single solid school color b. Be the same color for each team member c. Meet the logo requirements in 3-6 d. Be worn for medical reasons Interpretation of 3-5-3d: In order for a compression arm sleeve to be legal, the coach must present to the contest officials prior to every game a letter of authorization from the WIAA. The sleeve will be approved to be worn only if the school makes the request and includes a note/letter from a medical authority that indicates the name of the player, a recommended timeline (during the season or during the school year, for example) and that the sleeve is required to be worn. The sleeve color does not need to be the same as wristbands/headbands worn by team members. If a player is not wearing a sleeve but sustains an injury to the arm or elbow during a contest, the officials will allow a sleeve to be worn for the remainder of that contest. The officials should notify the assigner following the game of the situation. A letter from the WIAA will be required for any subsequent games. |
