At Brooksville Under The Lights, player safety comes first. Mouthguards help reduce the risk of dental injuries, cuts to the lips and cheeks, jaw injuries, and other mouth-related trauma that can occur during play. They also help emergency personnel provide care more effectively by reducing the likelihood of additional complications during an injury assessment.

Safety Concerns Include:

  • Broken or chipped teeth

  • Loose or displaced teeth

  • Cuts to the lips, cheeks, and gums

  • Jaw injuries from falls or contact

  • Excessive mouth bleeding

  • Additional complications during emergency treatment

No Mouthpiece = No Play

✅ Approved Shorts

  • Plain black or Team color athletic shorts are recommended.

  • Shorts must be free of all pockets, zippers, buttons, snaps, or other protruding items.

  • Compression shorts or leggings may be worn underneath athletic shorts.

  • Shorts must allow the flag belt to remain fully visible at all times.

⚠️ Safety First

Pocketless shorts are required to help protect players and maintain fair play. During a game, fingers, hands, or flags can become caught in pockets, increasing the risk of injury and interfering with proper flag pulls.

Potential Safety Concerns Include:

  • Finger and hand injuries

  • Torn clothing

  • Missed flag pulls

  • Increased risk of player contact

  • Unfair competitive advantages
