Equipment

Uniform Code

Safety
Parents, players and coaches ... please do not allow, for any reason, a child or player to remove equipment from the equipment boxes. Players may only transport equipment once removed from box. Please ensure the lid of the equipment box is open, it is in the locked position at this time. Once all equipment is removed, please ensure the lid is firmly closed. No children are to play on or around the equipment boxes. This is for safety reasons and we appreciate your cooperation.
Requests
May be allowed for travel purposes as long as each player has only one request associated with him/her. Example: John must be with Fred, so neither John or Fred are allowed to be party to any other requests. No coach requests are allowed. Coaches children are always placed on their team and siblings are always placed together
