Is there a rule prohibiting the use of metal studs in high school? If not, is there an allowable limit to their length? I had this question posed to me tonight by a friend, and I don't know the answer.
Thanks for any guidance!

Metal studs are allowed as long as not sharp, burred, pointed, etc. but not baseball type cleats. Commercially manufactured soccer cleats with metal screw in cleats would be legal

My friend's son was apparently cautioned for wearing metal studs (which to the best of my knowledge were standard soccer cleats), so I was looking for clarification.

4.1.i talks about shoes...
Shoes with soles containing metal, leather, rubber...allowed as long as referee does not consider them unsafe...even if considered unsafe, not sure how a caution is warranted...

If this is illegal equipment, the coach gets the card...

If this is illegal equipment, the coach gets the card. Assuming the coach has not already been given a caution for another illegally equipped player, then yes. But if the coach has been given one, it is to the player. However, it sounds like this falls under improper equipment, as metal cleats are allowed unless dangerous, so if they rule dangerous it would be improper in my opinion, and no caution issued. But he would be required to leave and repair or change.
