Safety of all players is critical. Please review the following information.
Players with plaster casts or hard splints, even if padded, will not be allowed to play--even with the permission of a parent and/or medical approval.
Players with orthopedic braces that have exposed or uncapped metal parts will not be allowed to play.
No hats or headgear may be worn on the playing field during a game. Prescription eyeglasses will be allowed with a doctor’s note.
No hair clips, barrettes or other devices to hold hair with protruding parts will be allowed on the playing field during a game—only rubber bands or coated bands.
No jewelry except for medical alert bracelets or necklaces. These must be taped down.
The Referee will inspect all rostered players for dangerous items prior to each game. The Referee will not allow anything to be worn that does not conform to the above rules. The Referee’s judgment will be final and coaches are expected to support the Referees to enforce the safety of all participants. Medical Release form and rosters must be in the coach’s possession at field registration and throughout the tournament.
Coaches are expected to keep players who have sustained injuries off the field.
