The sports dress code has always been a smooth road for every sport, they have always been fair to the players and to the community surrounding them. I asked a couple of people around Redwood about how the dress code affects them and if it was fair or not.

I asked Daisy Delamora 21’ about the Water Polo dress code. She stated that the bathing suits that they wear are appropriate because they are swimming and they shouldn’t be wearing baggy clothes to swim and play the game. She also said that water polo is a very intense game and it wouldn’t be right to wear anything other than fitting clothes to move around smoothly and more quickly.

Next, I asked Janette Ochoa, 21’, about the softball dress code. “I feel like the dress code is fair but then again it is not. If kids come to school in a rush and just grab a pair of spandex and a shirt then they shouldn’t get dress coded for it.” But she also understands softball practices in the open, so it might be better to cover up.

The Redwood sports dress code is generally fair, but the sport that disagrees most is track and cross country.

They have to run for a long time but they aren’t able to take their shirt off when they get overheated. I asked Jesus Galvez, 21’, about the dress code on track. “I think there shouldn’t be a restriction on what people should be able to wear. If the kids are hot they should be able to take off their shirts, if they have the appropriate cover ups under.”

We all know how bad Visalia can get with the dry heat, especially in the afternoons. Every sport should be able to do something that they love without being worried about their health.

Dress code for not only sports but school in general has always been a controversial topic. Should they be able to wear what they want? Or should the school crack down and have a strict policy?
