Cancellations
If we have to cancel due to weather there will be make-up games
Uniforms
Uniforms including helmet, shoulder pads, game pants with pads, and game jersey will be provided. Each player must provide own cleats, mouth piece, chinstrap and there has been a $2.00 increase on registration for pink socks for the month of October, to ensure they are all the same color. It is the player and or parents responsibility to keep up with these socks and have them at every game in October! These socks will be handed out the first practice in October. If we run out of practice gear then player will be responsible for getting that if they choose to. Practice jersey is not needed as they can just wear a T-Shirt over their pads.
Splitting of teams
Any league that has over 44 players will be required per ACQC to split into two teams.
