NJFOA - "No shorts"

Personally, I'm not a fan of shorts anyway.

Tom, you coming up to work the flag tornament?

We had our executive board meeting, this has been an issue. The NJFOA board said that NJSIAA and the coaches association (for the state) have said that shorts look sloppy an unprofessional. Last year, we were told that shorts could be worn at Varsity Scrimmages and underclassman games but the black/white socks had to be worn. After review of that they said that guys wore to many different variations of shorts and socks. So, the NJFOA board said no shorts at any level (pop-warner/PAL doesn't count). They said anybody not doing so would not receive a play-off assignment...

So, yes it is for the whole state.

Yes I am doing the flag tournament. I thought we were teaming up?

PS- I am not a fan of shorts either.
