Earrings / Piercings. Please communicate to all players NOW that they cannot take the court with earrings or any other piercings. They MUST be removed and cannot be taped. The only exception is if jewellery cannot be removed for medical / religious reasons. An exception request is to be submitted by the club to Fixtures and Umpire Coordinators for consideration for either a temporary or permanent situation, prior to the player taking the court. If approved, the jewellery may be required to be suitably padded/taped to ensure no injury to any player. A copy of the approval will be held in Administration on a Saturday, and the Team Manager / Coach is also to hold a copy and present to the umpires each week.
