Subject: Referee enforcement of Law 4 - no jewelry

Commissioners - please forward this to the couches and have the coaches forward to the parents and players.

 

The referees are taught that their #1 priority is safety.  Law 4 is very clear - Safety - A player must not use equipment or wear anything which is dangerous to himself (or herself) or another player (including any kind of jewelry).

 

All of the youth referees have been playing soccer for many years and they know they have never been allowed to where jewelry.

 

Since this law is clear, we have given the referees clear instructions to enforce this law.  No player will be allowed to play while wearing any type of jewelry, including earrings, even if they are taped or have Band-Aids on them.

 

Thank you in advance for your support in helping the PTSA players adhere to the laws of the game, and hence enjoy a safer game of soccer.

 

Steve
