Bladed Boots
10 Oct 2006

As many parents will already know to their cost, Norton Hill, Somervale and Writhlington schools have banned all types of bladed boots. However, this a schools' decisions as there is no such FIFA, UEFA or FA ban on any type of football boot or stud. The only requisite is that a boot is safe.

Bladed boots are therefore permitted in the MSN&DYFL provided they, like any other boot or stud, are safe, and safe means not sharpened or roughened which is caused by walking on concrete or tarmac surfaces.
