Rule 2.5 Eye protection

Recognizing that protective eye wear cannot guarantee 100% safety from eye injuries resulting from playing handball, protective eye wear designed for court sports must be properly worn at all times on the court. The USHA recommends that players select unaltered lensed eye wear, with specifications that meet or exceed either ASTM, ANSI or Snell standards.

Failure to wear appropriate protective eyewear properly will result in a technical (see Rule 4.9), and the player will be charged a timeout to secure eyewear. The second violation in the same match will result in a forfeit.
