General
Gloves must be worn.
Style
Gloves must be light in color and made of a soft material or leather. The fingers may not be webbed, connected or removed.
Foreign substances
No foreign substance, tape or rubber bands shall be used on the fingers or on the palms on the outside of the gloves. Metal or hard substances may not be worn under the glove if, in the opinion of the referee, it creates an unfair advantage (See interpretation No. 2).
Wet Gloves
Gloves must be changed when they become sufficiently wet to moisten the ball. This is the referee's decision. Gloves with holes that expose the skin may not be worn. It is the player's responsibility to have an ample supply of dry gloves.
