Our Jerseys are sponsored by Safari Ice Cream. Players will need to provide their own shorts & undershirt. Shorts can be any solid color (preferably black).

We provide Jerseys to players on the first week of the league and parents will return jerseys on the last game. Cheerleaders will keep their Cheer Shirts and will be given pom poms on the first week.  If players would like to keep their jersey or cheerleaders would like to keep their pom poms and not return them than the cost would be $25. However, this is an optional purchase and not required.
