Safety glasses???

Well, I was informed that side shields weren't allowed.

The rule enforcement will probably be different depending on the regional though.

I wouldn't recommend bringing only side shields because they might say something. The people on my team that have glasses use larger glasses (with a larger width I guess) that are pretty comfortable.

Please read the rules so you don't mislead other teams. This was pasted by fsayre earlier in this thread, and comes directly out of team update #5:

Goggles are not required over glasses if the glasses are ANSI-approved with side shields.

My apologies.

I was merely referring to plastic side shields people used to wear on the sides of their normal glasses.

If I am correct, ANSI approved glasses are actual glasses. I was referring to the side shields that were small, plastic and came in large packs.

Several members of my team have regular glasses, even our Head Coach.

As the safety captain, I'm kinda in a rut, because our safty glasses never seem to be big enough...

I need ideas. I can't make them buy their own huge set of safety glasses, and I don't have a budget.

Try approaching companies in your area and asking if they'd help sponsor your team by paying for ANSI-approved prescription safety glasses for the students who need them.
