Team Equipment

Please take care of your team’s equipment. It costs approximately $150.00 to equip each team . Return all balls and other equipment at the end of the season. Arrangements will be made to collect the equipment at the last game of the season. Otherwise, you must return your equipment to the Field Commissioner. Nets and game balls are in the boxes at each field. The referee has the combination. Each coach is asked to find someone to assist in putting up the goal nets before each game and taking them down after the game.
