Just got back from the NFHS rules meeting... no sweat/wristbands on neck -above bicep -AND above wrist (or on FOREARM) don't most players wear a WRIST COACH type wristband on their forearm?  |

Where does the wrist end and the forearm begin?

What? Now we're going to have to stitch a window in a long sleeve shirt?

Guys, this rule has not changed.. this has been the same every year.. they will not say anything about a wrist coach.. and long as it is not up by the elbow.. it has to start near the wrist.. which most will..

Interesting, as I went last night also ( CT ) wrist bands, wrist coaches etc must not have any logos on them, period. They do not want the kids being bill boards as we were told...

This has been the rule for several years, your state must have decided it was a point of emphasis this year. Michigan made it a point of emphasis a few years ago. It is no big deal as long as it is placed where it was designed to be placed, starting near the wrist, which would include 3 inches from the thumb.

Normally I can't see this being a problem - but I can also see a referee get p*ssy about this and throw a flag. It would be on the head coach.

Most of our guys wear theirs on their belts so it's no issue for us.

Since when are HS players walking billboards? This is rediculus rule in my opinion. If they're going to do that then get the logos off the jerseys, pants, and shoes. What's the difference? Sorry this one just hit me wrong. Buddy |

Wristbands are only to be on the wrist, not on the forearm, or BELT! That is how it was put out to us.

cant figure this out either... is it somehow a safety issue? i was only made aware of the rule because a referee last year made my kids remove any bicep bands during warm ups. 10 games... only one referee said anything.... heck, i didnt even know that it was a rule! and the logo thing seems just rediculous - should the kids paint over the swoosh on their shoes , or maybe scratch off the schutt on their helmet? cmon now

They were talking about the thin Under Armor or NIKE wristbands...Deon Sanders style. We had a DT one time that use to collect them and QB wristbands, he would intentionally pull them off RBs, QBs and receivers during games. I think his record was 8 in one game and 32 in a season. Corse he was the same kid who...when a RB's shoe came off during the course of a play...in his hands, he stuffed the shoe down his shirt and played 3rd down with it in there. ~we didn't notice during the game, we saw it in films on saturday. The RB just jogged off the field. Sat proudly on the top of his stall was that single cleat. God I miss that kid. (he's still a mean SOB). That is funny! I wouldn't mind having a couple of those kind of guys. |

It is a safety thing. Kids go to block or tackle or any contact and gets a finger caught under the bacd and has his finger broken or dislocated.

i agree midline....We were like OK what things do kids where....They told us they would make the kids take them off...They must have a lot of time on there hands to think up rules like this.....
They added another rule also...
When the QB starts to go through his signals everyone must vacate the Box ---No one is allowed period ...all coaches must back up past the 2 yard line...
We were told this was for safety issue
