Whats the rule with white skins & school/club afl?

Question

is there a rule that you cant play in white skins for footy? i just went out and bought them

Answer 1

I don't know about white, it's close enough to skin colour, because you can't wear black, must be skin colour/white, so I guess you'd be fine.

Answer 2

nope not really... in my (junior) footy comp though, if we wore the skins type shorts they had to be skin colour.

This was about 4-10 years ago though, before the skins product was released so the rule may have changed and could well be different depending on the competition you play in

Answer 3

i dont know the rule

but you will be targeted if you ware them in a game

Answer 4

no, no law that I am aware of anyway!

the only things you are not ment to wear at JUNIOR level is wristbands, headbands or gloves (unless it is for a medical reson). The AFL players can wear gloves, but not headbands or wristband unless the game is played at a very high tempreture.

but if anyone was to raise a concern, just tell them to find the rule in the book!

Answer 5

i have never heard of a rule like that being in forced.

i have a level 3 coaches certificate, to be honest i must of fell alseep when they discussed that.

thats why coaches need good team managers, they look after that, never seen white either.

Answer 6

I do believe that they have to be skin coloured to play in. Thats the rule we have at club footy, set down by the League.
