cleat checks

[jvt510]

why do refs check the players cleats sometimes i dont see how it would change anything

[dta06]

They are checking if you have metal studs under you cleats.

[jvt510]

oooo would it give u more traction or something or is it jsut like a safty thing

[dta06]

I'm assuming metal studs are illegal because they are sharp and in a sport like lacrosse their are times (ei. groundballs) where you get cleated now and then, and metal cuts deep and can leave an infection

[jvt510]

[scruffy221]

Reading the FAQ it says I cant wear a 3/4 cleat... ooops, good thing we dont get checked.

[Beacher]

In some rugby leagues metal cleats are mandatory because they're safer. Strange, huh?

[MVHSlax14]

i have metal tips and i was checked 4 times this season and everything was fine, so i assume this is pertaining to all metal spikes

[bigdale9]
