Refunds

Due to ordering and customization processes, refunds will not be issued once uniform fittings have been completed.

Uniforms

Issued uniforms are required to be worn at all games and are NOT allowed to be worn during practices. It is the responsibility of the athlete and parents to keep up with all issued uniform pieces. CYFC does not carry additional equipment for replacements, and any lost items can be purchased for an additional fee upon availability.

Uniform Fittings (date TBD)

Athletes are required to attend a pre-season uniform fitting meeting to try on appropriate sizes. Parents will confirm the sizes to order for your athlete at the meeting. Once uniforms are ordered according to parent-approved sizing, replacement pieces must be paid in full.

Weigh-Ins (date TBD)

All tackle football athletes are required to attend and weigh in at the official United Legacy weigh-ins. Athletes are weighed once a year to determine eligibility in running the ball and field placement. Check with your coach on your official weight limits.
