High School Rule

[Bighurt]

Well said, I couldn't agree more. If you want attention earn it on the field.

Two things about MBA. Their uniforms are old-school even with the swoosh and they play as a team.

I never wore any wrist bands or gloves...never seemed to make me play any different, I always liked the old school receivers like Tim Brown--no gloves, no bands, just a little tape on the fingers and wrists. But if players think it helps, then by all means wear them. However, if the league says its a rule, then you've got to follow the rule. From what i'm reading though, it should strictly enforced everywhere if its a statewide rule, not just places whose referees know the rulebook inside and out.

Iit might be just a Shelby Metro thing.

You are correct, it must be a West TN thing. Marshall County players were told before a game with Crockett County --- Wrist Bands at the wrist and to go along with that -- socks pulled up and under you pants. Everything is different in West TN -- must be the muddy water from the mighty Mississippi affecting what little brain cells that they have !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wore gloves as an o-lineman, but only so I could hold better.

I play for alcoa and I've never seen that rule enforced

Anyone know why HS players are not allowed to wear wrist bands on their forearms or Bi-ceps?

I have never heard of this being a rule. Last friday night at a game in west TN players had bands on their arms. The refs never said a word.

Never heard of or seen this rule enforced. i think it looks dumb to have them that far up and is pointless but it is a players right to wear them. as for gloves and such that makes sense.

Its like the rule that all Jerseys must be tucked in or AT THE WAIST LINE. Very few refs will enforce it but we had a FB told to tuck his shirt in last Friday night. Strange rule and seldom enforced!

Who cares where a player wears his sweat bands? I wish refs would be more concerned with making the calls that affect the out come of ball games. Not where a player wears his sweat bands, jersey tucked or untucked etc. The coach should handle his teams dress not the ref.

Because I see every team with their jersey out on film and in perosn, but when they play us the refs go hardcore about it and take people out of the game for it

 

Also you can't wear wristbands on your arms which is really weird...

 

We also had a guy taken out because his doo-rag came out fo the back of his helmet (even though it is being worn to protect his hair) seems a little crazy if you ask me and refs aren't paying attention to the main stuff, like when they gave a guy a TD on a hail mary in our first game yet the guy never when had the ball in his hands as you dove or got up!

i think the tucking in the jersey only applies to players with long jerseys that are below their waists. if you tuck in a jersey that's above your waist, why tuck it in? it's going to be ripped out again. as far as the wristbands go, ive seen players with them on their elbows. i guess its the ref's decision on that rule.

I think every player deserves the right to wear wristbands wherever he desires. Individual attention is something that a team needs to get a better fan base.
