Equipment:

Football – We are changing our uniform process this season!
There will be fitting dates held at the end of June. Attendance at one the dates will be mandatory for the football player and their guardian. At the fitting, we will have samples of the new uniforms for the kids to try on, including jerseys and pants. At this fitting appointment, each football player will pay $75 to order their jersey (separate from the fee that is collected for registration and volunteer retainer) which they will then keep and will not be turning in at the end of the season. All football players will also receive both a practice uniform, and set of game pants, shoulder pads, and a helmet with facemask, chinstrap and mouth guard which must be returned at the end of the season.
Players must provide their own cleats; metal cleats are not allowed. 
Practice uniforms and safety equipment will be distributed prior to practice. 
All league gear is to be returned at the end of the season.

Cheer – We will continue with our custom uniforms this season!
There will be fitting dates held at the end of May and first weekend of June. Attendance at one the dates will be mandatory for the cheerleader and their guardian. At the fitting we will have samples of the new uniforms for the kids to try on, including shoes, skirts, shells and long sleeve undershirts and warmups. At this fitting appointment, each cheerleader will pay $175 to order their uniform (separate from the fee that is collected for registration and volunteer retainer) which they will then keep and will not be turning in at the end of the season. 

Their uniform kit will include the following: Bow, Shell, Skirt, Long Sleeve Undershirt, Briefs, Socks, Shoes, Cheer Bag, Warmups, and Poms. 
For anyone concerned with cost, we will be fundraising to help offset the cost of these new uniforms. If you choose to participate in the fundraisers you could and should end up earning enough to cover this additional costs. 

Season Dates
Exact dates TBA per the Mendo-Lake Empire Junior Football League.
You can expect that football practices will start mid-late July, and that games will be Saturdays from Mid August through Early November.
