What equipment must I wear?

• Seven lower body pads at all times at league sanctioned events: a tail pad, 2 hip pads, 2 thigh pads and 2 knee pads.
• Footwear and mouthguard must meet the guidelines in the current Canadian Amateur Rule Book for Tackle Football.
• Visors must be clear, not tinted. No medical exceptions are allowed.
• Altering equipment in a way that may cause injury to another person means immediate disqualification from that game and at least the next scheduled game.
• Hearing devices: only medically prescribed devices (such as hearing aids) are allowed, with medical certification approved by the WWCFL before your first regular season game, or your first game wearing the device.
• Team staff are responsible for making sure every player is fully equipped, properly fitted and instructed in the safe use of the equipment.
