On another related subject, in Virginia and other parts of the country, are the mennonites. They are allowed to play in skirts because it is part of their religion/lifestyle. I have seen them play softball in these skirts.

I fully understand and respect their religious rights, but sometimes things can get out of hand with an athelete's attire. There are provisions in the NFHS rule books that allow for such attire, so I don't think the referees could be held responsible here if an injury did occur during a game because of religious attire. I believe this would be the ultimate responsibility of the governing atheletic association and the school/parents of the person involved.
