This applies to all grades U12 up
It appears that the message in the email below has generally not been passed on to coaches, managers & players.
Football Brisbane has now advised referees that this law (re tape) will be policed in ALL Pre-Season matches from now on.
It is also relevant to remind clubs that the undershorts (“skins”) law has not changed and does apply in Pre-Season matches.
Similarly, the jewellery law is also applicable – jewellery (ear-rings, rings etc) must be removed – they cannot be taped over.
PLEASE pass this on to your Coaches, Managers & Players to avoid any unnecessary dramas prior to matches.
LAW 4 – THE PLAYERS’ EQUIPMENT

A player must not use equipment or wear anything that is dangerous to himself or another player (including any kind of jewellery).

- shorts – if undershorts or tights are worn, they must be of the same main colour as the shorts
- stockings- if tape or similar material is applied externally it must be the same colour as that part of the stocking it is applied to
- shinguards
- footwear

There will be a couple of rolls of red tape left at the canteen for emergencies for HOME games.
