•Change:
		•In 2005 helmets were required to be held in place by a chin strap that has at least 4 snaps. This requirement was voted to be effective with the 2006 season.
		•In 2005 mouth guards were required to be made of a material that were not totally white or clear.
	•Reason for Change:
		•At the interscholastic level, almost all helmets were being shipped with at least a 4-snap chin strap.
		•The 4-snap chin strap, according to the manufacturer’s directions, will hold the helmet in place more securely.
		•By requiring a mouth guard that is not totally white or clear both coaches and officials can better monitor the wearing of this piece of required equipment.
