Equipment Pick Up will be during the morning on Monday, August 30th at the School:

• All players must bring in a $300.00 deposit cheque (made out to the school) to get equipment.
• If you only need a practice jersey and/or practice pants a $50 deposit cheque will do.
• The cheque does not get cashed. It will be returned when all equipment is received in full.
• Senior Players will pick up gear from 8:30am to 10:00am
• Junior Players will pick up gear from 10:00am to 11:30am

Equipment Pick Up Protocols:

• Show up at the doors behind the school above the football field.
• Wait outside wearing a mask on the Longhorns Logos painted on the concrete abiding by physical distancing protocols.
• We will allow 3 student-athletes in at a time to get their equipment.
• Coaches will help with fitting players properly.
• Afterwards, Coach Borchetta will track all numbers on gear before you can leave with your gear (no football lockers given out this week so bring a large bag to take gear home).
• When a player leaves, a Coach will direct the next player in to get gear.
• For the first week of Training Camp (Aug. 30th to Sept 3rd) the HCDSB has ruled that we cannot wear any football equipment to training camp to ensure that we all ease back into training safely. Please store equipment at home in a safe, clean, dry space!
