I`m new to the league so I apologize if this is a dumb/ frequently asked question. Our coach told us that we can`t wear shorts with poekets, if I was to wear shorts with the pockets sewn up would that be allowed?

;	Actually, according to the rule book pockets are allowed to be sewn shut. VFFA 2008 Amendments - amendment to Page 8, Rule 1, Section 4, Article 5a.

Yes!

;	How would the ref be able to tell the difference between no pockets and sewn pockets unless he gets right up in your business? - you`ll be fine. I had sewn pockets for 3 seasons - not one ref even mentioned anything.

;	Pockets r a safety rule if they r closed no fingers get caught and broken. If you guys spend this much time practicing football maybe you would b a little bettr player.
