They showed up at my GV game last night.
R-Headbands must be Black white beige or the school color and all girls must have the same color, coach.
Me- They're not headbands. They are hair restraints.
R-They're headbands, they gotta go.

Will someone please tell me the difference???

What my girls are wearing are rubber band ponytail holders (which are fine I know) but they are also wearing a rubber band accessory that sits on top of the head and goes under the pony tail. The thing is basically a big rubber band that holds the bangs that a pony tail does not gather. It's like 2-3 mm in diameter.

Is that considered a head band? (Last night it was...)

similar to this...maybe a little thinner.

[just another ref]

if it goes around the entire head, it's a headband 3-5-4b

So sock, shoes, anything is game? What's the big issue with a large rubber band?

See above. Rule book addresses headwear. It doesn't address socks, shoes, etc.

Got the rules part...I guess my question was more on the line of "Why NFHS chooses to regulate headwear and uniforms but not shoes and socks?"
