Code sheets worn on the arm: Allowed?

[fastpitchjunkie]

I recently coached a game against a team using the "new age" code sheets worn on the arm of batter and defense. I found them to be annoying. The coach and players take too long to read them and they have a strong glare on them that was bothering my pitcher. Should these be allowed?

"Not Allowed " is not an option. A suggestion to you is don't let anyone know they bother you or your pitcher. If you were playing me and I knew they bothered you, specially your pitcher, everyone on my team, my coaches, and my parents would be wearing them.

Yes, they are allowed. We use them and I have found that they actually takes LESS time than giving traditional signals. Maybe your pitcher should concentrate where to throw the pitch instead.

UCLA uses them.

Saw two teams use them in Florida- one was pretty efficient, the other it slowed them down. IMO it's a little overkill, but if if it works -go for it!
