SC Soccer Forums SCSoccer.com Forums SCHSSCA Uniform Rule Changes 2012

Will this apply to JV teams as well? If so, how can schools be expected to finance this? What will be the penalty if they don't wear ALL WHITE?

Per the uniform question asked in another thread, please review the above post.

From the NFHS website:

CHANGES EFFECTIVE 2012-13

Soccer:

Rule 4-1-1: Shinguards must meet the National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment
(NOCSAE) specifications. The NOCSAE seal and the appropriate height range of the player shall appear on the
shinguard. Beginning with 2012 fall season, the NOCSAE seal and height range shall be permanently marked on the front of the shinguard.

Rule 4-1-1i1: Beginning with the 2012 fall season, all jerseys shall be numbered on the back with a different Arabic number at least 6 inches in height and on the front (jersey or shorts) with the same number which shall be at least 4 inches in height. Numbers shall be of contrasting color to the jersey (or shorts) and clearly visible.

CHANGES EFFECTIVE 2013-14
Soccer:
Rule 4-1-1b: Beginning with the 2013 fall season, the home team shall wear solid white jerseys and solid white
socks.

Hatch,

The National Federation does not govern JV sports. That would be left up to state associations. I do not believe SCHSL will enforc the new rule with JV.
