Dibs, Volunteer Checks, Equipment
The jerseys that were given to the 5th-8th grade players are the smallest possible jersey that your player could get. We will not be exchanging jerseys for a smaller size. Alterations to the jerseys are not allowed - many of these jerseys are brand new this year and will be used for future seasons. Any alterations to the players jerseys (and/or damage) will result in your equipment check being cashed.
Dibs for the 2020 season are live and can be claimed on the FYFA website. All families that have not paid the optional volunteer fee are required to sign up for 2 Dibs per family. If you have any questions, please contact Adam Clemen at adam.clemen@gmail.com. When you show up for you assigned dib, please make sure you are wearing a facemask. If you are not wearing a facemask, you will not be allowed to perform the Dib you have been assigned to and will need to reschedule for another date/time to fulfill your Dib requirements. Please check in near the front gate of Boeckman Stadium 10 minutes prior to your assigned Dib time.
