Athletic and kinesio tape: any color is legal Take a look at these (from Craig Bradley, D-3 Rules Interpreter)

Intentional Fouls Know them when we see them Upgrade if necessary A coach yelling “FOUL, FOUL” isn’t necessarily an intentional foul Be smart about knowing when a team WANTS to foul and get the first opportunity Craig Bradley summary chart for elbows
