    METAL CLEATS

    Umpire's must now make another judgement as to whether the slide was legal or not. Hope we get them right.

    Adopt!

    Because it is not a mandatory rule like facemasks for instance. It will be up to the NCHSAA to adopt. We will probably have to wait a few months for them to make a decision. I imagine the NCHSAA will poll the coaches at the rules meeting on Thursday of next week in Greensboro. The decision to allow or not will probably be made at their winter meeting in November. The NCFSCA proposed this last year to the NCHSAA and they said metal cleats were not recognized by the National Federation and they were a definite safety issue. Well, now the NCHSAA will need to make a decision based solely on the safety issue. This should make for some interesting discussion next week!

    Pop,

    If possible a quick vote on this would be good as steel cleats will take the kids some time getting used to. Off-season workouts would be reccommended if at all possible.

    How about a poll?

    Hey Cheeze,
    How about posting a poll to see what the area coaches and players think about going metal?

    I can tell you I think they are unnecessary and a huge risk, but hey, what do I know, right?
