mouthpieces
 
Is it a new fed rule that mouthpieces need be attached to the helmet? thanks in advance

No. The only requirement is that it must be any color other than white and clear and must not be altered in anyway that deminishes the protection of the teeth.

Nope. Where'd you hear that?

A coach asked me because an official in a youth game told him it was a new rule in 2007. I hadn't heard anything or read anything but I wanted to make sure. Thanks for the input mrd

The youth league I work uses NF rules but this is one of the rules that they added. This is checked during their weigh in & basic equipment check. Actually I like the rule because you can see the strap on the facemask so you know they've got one. I always see HS players dropping them or looking for them.
