Club Supplied Equipment: Equipment use is included in the registration fees for athletes. SWEMFA provides each athlete the use of an equipment bag, helmet, shoulder pads, practice pants, game pants, and games jerseys (2x). Each player is supplied an athletic T-Shirt, practice jersey, padded girdle, game socks and mouthguard that are players to keep.
Dates for equipment handout will be communicated after registration. A credit card authorization form in the amount of $500.00 must be completed at equipment handout. The credit card will only be charged if the equipment is not returned in a clean and satisfactory condition or if there are outstanding funds due.
Player Supplied Equipment: While we do supply players simple mouthguards, it is recommended players purchase a good quality mouthguard for their own protection. Players are also required to supply their own football or similar cleats (no metal cleats).
No experience is required and there are no cuts made.
Registrations may be capped to maintain acceptable roster sizes.
