The following is some information regarding an upcoming parent's meeting, jersey care and number selection.
Jersey Care
Players will be required to bring their own jerseys to the games this year. You will need to bring the jerseys to the game in a garment bag with your name on a tag. Please have your name and phone number on an attached tag.
Number Selection
The team will select their numbers on the following criteria;
- Players that played on the Bantam Rep team last year will select first - this includes AP players.
- If there is a number that two or more players want, there will be 'tie breaker' - to be determined.
- Second year bantams that did not play on the Rep team will select next.
- Remaining first year players will select next - again there will be a tie breaker if there are more than one player wanting the same jersey number.
- From what we have seen to date we don't expect many conflicts if any.
