Uniforms We are changing how we handle our Traveling Team Basketball Uniform situation. You will be purchasing your son s uniform and it is for them to keep and reuse throughout their years of playing Traveling Basketball. We highly suggest that you order the uniform a little bigger so that they get multiple years of use out of the uniform. Your uniform package that you will be purchasing includes a Jersey & Shorts along with a shooting shirt. Information and Pricing is listed on the next slide.
Uniform Pricing Uniforms will be purchased separately by each family. Uniforms can be worn for multiple years and passed down from one sibling to another. The pricing for uniforms is listed below and items can be bought individually as well (ex. If the player only needs a new jersey) 3rd grade and 4th grade uniforms are included in the entry fee price, so 3rd and 4th grade parents do not need to purchase uniforms the first year of traveling team. Full Uniform (includes reversible jersey and shorts) -$55.00 Jersey Only -$43.00 (adult), $40.00 (youth) Shorts Only - $18.00 (adult), $15.00 (youth)
