1. The refs and coaches need to make sure there isn't any problems with skin or hair length as a matter of fact all the parents need to also. If you see it report it.

2. Your head coach needs to make sure the kids are aware of skin problems,and the hair rule. Our coach does a very good job of reminding everyone of this at practices.

3. The state board and the district board need to do a better job of having material for everyone to see. Make flyers or send out reminders. A lot of new people don't realize how serious it is at times.

4. Parents make them set a week if they have problems. I am sure they can still get mat time and become a champ if they miss practice to heal. If they keep coming and give it more people it can slowly make it back to them and you have to start over.

5. If you volunteer to have a satellite weigh in go at it like Richard Salyer or the head ref is watching you do it. Or just don't do it. Maize, Circle and Augusta all do the checks both skin and nails. If you see it being done wrong then report it.

6. Stop whining about and do something about it next time. Tell the people running the weigh in about it,step up.
