Eye Protection

• Contestants are responsible for providing their own protective eyewear.

• Teams WILL NOT be allowed to compete ith t d t t ti Thi iwithout adequate eye protection. This is

NON-NEGOTIABLE.

Eye ProtectionSuggestion

• Suggest that coaches just go out purchase a dozen High Impact Chemical / Splash Goggles (Z87+).

• Enough for the whole team.

• Should prevent students showing up for an event with inadequate eye protection for that event.
