We have a lot of girls players around here that wear knee pads.

I've been treating knee pads the same as sleeves so far this year.

There's a joke in there somewhere.

The following is from the NCAAW Supplemental Apparel Guide:



Meaning...
*They must be a solid color
*They may be black, white, beige or the color of the game pants, and
*Teammates must all wear the same color
Finally, a Rules Committee addresses the situation directly. I can live with this.

Thanks JetMan.

According to our state interpreter, in Delaware, knee pads are considered knee sleeves and are subject to those requirements.

I see your point, but knee pads (and elbow pads) go back to the early days of basketball. I am sure that at this point BillyMac can find pictures of some early basketball players wearing knee pads to post in this thread.

It has been years until today that I have seen a player wearing what are just knee pads. I just don't think that Rules Committees considered knee pads from a historical stand point (and why am I not surprised that the Rules Committees every do their due diligence with regard to existing rules interpretations that would still apply today, but I digress).

I think they did consider it and decided that they'd (finally) keep it simple rather than having us decipher the undecipherable.

That was NCAAW. Now it's time for the NFHS to step up.
