Mountain Tigers - Use of Compression wear under Game Uniforms

22 Feb 2019 by Duncan Hirst

Dear All

Over the summer break, Knox Basketball has introduced changes to the competition rules involving the use of active/compression wear such as Underarmour and 2XU brand under the playing uniform.

To ensure all players are clear on the rules:

1. Compression wear such as knee pads, 3/4 tights are now APPROVED for use during games

2. All compression wear used must match the Mountain Tigers club primary colour, ie. BLACK. No other colours or combination of colours are acceptable.

3. Compression wear such as elbow pads, t-shirts and shooting sleeves are NOT permitted under any circumstances.

Non-Black Knee Pads or Elbow Pads that are required for injury protection/recovery are acceptable providing players have a doctors certificate endorsing their use.

Players who choose to wear non-compliant compression wear will incur a 7 point uniform violation penalty from the referees. Please do not let your team down by wearing non-compliant uniform.

Coaches – please ensure your players are aware of the requirements before stepping on the court.

Many thanks
