We are fast approaching the deadline date if you are planning on getting any piercings and still hope to play at the start of the start of the upcoming season.
Conventional wisdom is that new piercings should not be removed for 6 to 8 weeks after the event, so with player evaluation practices scheduled for September 11-14, the last eight week date for a piercing before that is July 17 – 20, the six week date would be July 31-August 3.
The rules of basketball, not a Pete Petersen Basketball League rule, dictate that players may not participate with jewelry of any kind, so plan ahead to avoid disappointment this season.
The risk is very real, and I personally know a person that had an earing ripped out of her ear during competition, and taping over the new piercing is not permitted.
