• JV & Varsity: For all of our JV and Varsity athletes, starting from this year forward, once you make a team, we will send out a form asking for your last name, number(s) (varsity players get first pick and once they graduate those numbers will be up for grabs again) and shirt size. These jerseys will be yours to keep until you graduate, re-using them every year you make a team!
