Players Equipment: Jewelry of any kind (including small stud earrings and religious emblems) and hard casts may not be worn during practices or games. This is a safety issue. Players with recently pierced ears cannot participate until the earrings can be removed, so please plan accordingly so they are able to remove the earrings before the first practices and games. As required by IFAB Soccer Laws (click here to view), a player must not use equipment or wear anything that is dangerous. All items of jewelry (necklaces, rings, bracelets, earrings, leather bands, rubber bands, etc.) are forbidden and must be removed. Players must be inspected before the start of the match and substitutes before they enter the field of play. If a player is wearing or using unauthorized/dangerous equipment or jewelry, the referee must order the player to remove the item, or leave the field of play at the next stoppage. Using tape to cover jewelry is not permitted. A player who refuses to comply or wears the item again must be cautioned (e.g., given Yellow Card). The IFAB laws apply except as modified for each league as listed of each League's specific Laws.
