Question Number: 19166

League Specific 5/21/2008

RE: Select Under 15

Julie of San Jose, CA USA asks...

My son broke his nose playing soccer 3 weeks ago. We are looking at attending a up & coming tournament. I am inquiring what the referee ruling would be for a player to wear a nose guard during play. Is it allowed if it is made of plastic and is similar to safety goggles? Attached is a website of what it looks like. Please advise.
