A member asked:

Can you play soccer with an arm splint on?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Physically, yes, but: Depending on the competition, the referee may not permit you to play. I am a ussf certified referee and in sanctioned competitions, casts/splints are not permitted due to the risk of injury to other players.
