Mr. P Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Are tinted eye shields allowed during games in high school ball? Provided they are still transparent enough to see the player's eyes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickMorris Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I do not believe they are....I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KilgoreFan Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 My son has used a clear one the past two seasons. He broke his nose in two places, and uses it to protect the honker. Have not seen anyone using tinted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaravichVSChitwood Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Cannot use tinted in UIL sanctioned sports including: shields, glasses, and/or goggles unless the head coach has given the UIL a written medical excuse that is deemed necessary per UIL rules committee. Had this one enforced on us because a kid had transition lenses for his eye glasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted May 1, 2018 Author Share Posted May 1, 2018 Gotcha. Thanks y'all. I gotta nephew who "needs" a tinted shield for "medical" purposes. I told him he might get away with it in practice, but coach gonna put the kibosh come game time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex85 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 from the ncaa rule book, not sure if there is an uil exception or not. C. Eye shields. Eye shields must be clear, not tinted, and made from molded or rigid material. Eyeglasses and goggles also must be clear and not tinted. No medical exceptions are allowed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hated getting my eye poked. I still say the coolest was Eric Dickerson with his Rec-Specs. It made him look like an alien beast that could outrun anyone. His height and track running style was amazing to watch. Heck, I remember Rec-Specs becoming popular in all sports back then because of him.

DaveTV1 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I forgot to include I don't see why a kid would need a tinted visor at night, unless they had the vintage hawk vision yellow tint to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same reason they wear wristbands and pads they don't really need = because it looks cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He ran track back at Sealy, and won State in the 200 with a 21.50 time. I thought he helped Sealy win the 400 relay in the same year, but it's not on a page that I looked up. It's not the U.I.L. page though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
