The Meridian Police Activities League Policy on Casts and Jewelry. 

Casts
No player in the program may participate with a hard cast. Players may participate with soft cast, provided adequately covered with no less than 1/2 inch thick, high density, closed-cell polyurethane or an alternate material of the same minimum thickness and with similar physical properties to protect an injury to the player or other players.

Additionally, the player must have a note from a licensed medical physician stating that the player is cleared to participate with the soft cast. Prior to each game, the referees or umpires will inspect the cast to see that it is properly prepared for play. The doctor’s note will be surrendered to the referee, league director or Meridian PAL Committee or Board Member and kept on file so long as it specifies the duration of time for which the athlete may participate. The note shall cover only the original incident or injury. If the player incurs a subsequent injury it is the responsibility of the player’s parents and or coach to submit a new note to Meridian PAL.

Jewelry

All jewelry, earrings, watches, bracelets, necklaces, etc. are not allowed to be worn during Meridian PAL games. Taping over earrings is not acceptable as these need to be removed during play. Only medically necessary or religious bracelets are permitted, but must be taped to your body. 

We apologize for any inconvenience this causes, but please understand this is a safety concern for all children involved in the league.
