The CHSAA has ruled these as legal as long as the participant can provide a letter from CHSAA.
If the school/team cannot provide a CHSAA letter concerning allowing a player to participate, then they are ruled as jewelry and illegal. The participant/player may not compete until a CHSAA letter is provided to the officials' for the contest that evening. |
