Alternate Jersey Request Process
Alternate Jersey Request Process
Teams interested in wearing a non-standard or alternate jersey must follow the club’s approval process.
Process:
- Coach Submission: The team’s coach must present the proposed jersey design or concept to the Board of Directors.
- Board Review: The Board of Directors will review the design to ensure it aligns with the club standards and league requirements.
- Board Vote: The Board of Directors will vote to approve or decline the request. The coach will be notified once a decision is made.
This process helps maintain consistency across the club while still allowing teams to explore creative options when appropriate. Thank you for supporting our uniform guidelines.

- Level 1: Verbal taunting (Minimum 2-game suspension)
- Level 2: Harassment/Intimidation (Minimum 4-game suspension)

- Level 2: Intentional confrontation (Minimum 10-game suspension or 6-24 months)

How You Can Help
