RULE 2. EQUIPMENT

Jewelry Policy (click here)

Sec 5. JEWELRY (Youth only – 18 & Under and younger) Exposed jewelry, which is judged by the umpire as dangerous, is not permitted and must be removed.

Medical alert items are not considered jewelry. If worn, they must be taped to the body so medical alert information remains visible.

Flat, unadorned items with no sharp edges or points, such as bobby pins, barrettes, and hair clips (no longer than 2 inches) may be worn as hair control devices. Coaches wristbands (play indicators) are legal but must be worn as designed

Interpretation:  If Jewelry is not judged to be dangerous, it is permitted.  There is no limitation other than being judged to be dangerous.
