Do I Need to Buy New Uniforms Each Year?
Most likely not if the old one fits and is in good shape. The team is on a schedule to rotate uniforms every 2 to 3 years, but we typically tryout best to keep the new kits as close to the old as possible to minimize the need to buy new ones.
What is the Cost of Uniforms?
Each coach is given some leeway on deciding what uniform items are required, but the base kit includes two jerseys (different colors), 2 pairs of shorts (different colors), and two pairs of socks (different colors) and runs roughly $80. Parents may want to order additional uniforms for cold weather or to have an extra set for tournaments or weekends that have multiple games. You will get an email with more details from the uniform coordinator and from your coach about what is needed.
How Do I Order Uniforms?
About 2 months before the start of the season and once all the teams are settled you should get an email from the uniform coordinator with information about how to order uniforms. In it you will find information about the basic required items and a link to where to order them. When you click on the link and sign in/register you will be taken to the club’s page. Select your players team and his name. Either your coach or the uniform coordinator would have already contacted you about what number you have been assigned. Be sure to talk with your coach before ordering to make sure you order everything that is needed. Also, since these are personalized products and it is a busy time of year for the manufacturer you really need to get your uniform order in as soon as you can because it will take several weeks for the jerseys to arrive. Many teams plan in pre-season events and you will not be able to play without them.
Are the Cost of Uniforms Included in My Fees?
No, the cost of uniforms is NOT included in your club fees for the Academy and Select level teams. However, while the club does change uniforms every so often every effort if made to try to keep the new ones as similar to the old ones as possible. Thus, reducing the chance new ones will need to be ordered.
Can I Choose My Players Number? How Are Numbers Assigned?
No, the uniform coordinator will assign numbers based on availability. Players will have the same number each year unless they request a change. We do our best to try to keep unique numbers for player two ages above and two age groups below if possible so that players can play up if needed.
