Your uniform will be new (unless returning athlete chooses the credit) and you get to keep it.  Please review the other pages on the web site as they will answer most questions.

We rely on volunteers to get things done.  This year, in addition to each athlete’s registration fee there is a $50 per family volunteer deposit, which you can earn back by volunteering a total of six (6) hours during the season. Otherwise, your deposit will be considered donated and used to help pay operating expenses and for uniforms, supplies, and equipment. There are a lot of volunteer opportunities, which range from easy to painfully easy, and pitching in to help is part of the experience. Once you have contributed your volunteer time, you can fill out a Request for Refund (on the Forms Page).  If you do not complete and submit a Request for Refund by no later than 7 days prior to picnic (or pick up your check no later than the picnic), your deposit will be deemed a donation to the club. Refund checks will be at the picnic.
