In a contact sport like volleyball, injuries occur. One way to detect the amount of Oxygen in the bloodstream is by the color of your fingernails (think pink). If you are unconscious, the seriousness of your condition can be determined by the color of your fingernails.Why do we have to remove nail polish before our volleyball tournaments?
I don't think it is matching any rule-books, but hey that might be why it is part of your ';code of conduct';.





When the whole team can go as **one** and can obey any discipline set up by the code of conduct (no matter how weird it is), you have a chance to be part of a great club... I don't seem to be able to find any other explanation, so sorry you would have to sign that sheet... guess it was drafted by an old-school coach.
Damn, I used to always wear nail polish for club.


I used to even write on my hands sometimes, writing things like ';Be Beast!'; on my palms in sharpie marker for games.





Idk, maybe your things just really strict, ha.
Because the focus should be the team, not the individual...and on teamwork, not vanity.
dang. we didn't have to do that i guess because so they wouldn't be any distractions like bright green nail polish and such like that. plus everyone on your team has to be matching
umm... i'm on a national team also and i don't have to remove my nail polish. they're normally bright green for our games.
so the whole team matches
maybe cuz its a distraction



My coach never makes us do that..maybe its just one of ur clubs rules
