Title: Knee Pads
Post by: TexDoc on October 21, 2019, 11:07:26 AM
Who else is having issues with knee pads still?  Friday night one team had so many players with pants that were way too short to the cover knees, we just let them play.  I did a UIL report, but what's the use if the UIL doesn't make sure coaches are buying uniforms that actually fit their players?  I feel like it's a losing battle.

No kidding...looks like they have given up at the college level also.   We had a coach tell us....yall enforce it...I can't get them to comply

Well, now that we know who is in charge on your team, coach...

I don’t know that they ever tried to begin with.
