Equipment Guidelines from Coach Martin

Coach Martin wanted the players to have this information pertaining to rules and regulations regarding equipment.  It certainly looks like there will be stringent enforcement.  It is the player's responsibility to be properly equipped the first day of tryouts (November 12):

HIGH SCHOOL RULES REGARDING MOUTHGUARDS, NECKGUARDS

Rule 3-4 ART.1     PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
·      It is mandatory for all players to wear a certified BNQ stamped throat protector. This shall not be modified from its original manufactured state and shall be worn in the manner the manufacturer intended it to be worn.
(The key here is it must be stamped BNQ)   It must be worn for all games, practices and in the warm up prior to games.


All players (including goalkeepers) must wear internal mouthpieces at all times including pre game warm ups.


GOALKEEPERS
·      Must wear protective full face mask with helmet and chin strap. (note chin strap will be checked prior to start of game.)
·      Must wear flapper-style throat protector.
·      Must wear mouthguard

·      Must wear wrap around throat protector like the players unless it is built in to the chest protector. The key is that is must be stamped BNQ.
