Boys uniforms, 2027 season
Every player in grades 3 through 8 needs a uniform. The jersey and shorts are the only required items, about $75 in addition to registration, and the shooter shirt is optional. If last season's uniform still fits, there is nothing to buy. The club emails families when the uniform store opens.
