On the court, players should have proper uniforms with them, clean and free from wrinkles on a hanger, or folded in their bag. On days where back-to-back games happen, I will volunteer to clean the uniforms and make sure the players have them the following day. However, it is the player's responsibility to make sure that on other occasions all necessary uniform pieces are on hand. On some tournament occasions it may be necessary to bring both home and away jerseys, and players will be told in advance if it is necessary, or which one to bring. Individual pieces, such as headbands, wristbands, etc will not be allowed during games, but permitted during practices, provided it doesn't disrupt proper technique. Shoes are expected to be white in nature, but some color and variation is fine.

No athlete will be punished for being unable to provide proper dress, however it should be discussed with me in advance.
