Customized Football Jerseys:

This year we will order customized jerseys for our football players as we typically do however we are in need of families to register early to ensure there are no delays with production or shipping.

If registered by May 5th we can ensure your football player will have one of the 5 numbers they select  as well as their true size jersey as selected by the parent.

*Please note we will bulk order jerseys after May 5th for players that haven't registered as of yet in bigger sizes to ensure there are no issues with jerseys fitting players. With this being said, please note that your Child's selected number will not be guaranteed for the season if registered after May 5th. 

Cheerleading Accessories 

Registration includes our cheerleader's uniform and personalized practice t-shirt. However, cheerleader's are required to have the following cheer accesories: cheer shoes, warm-up suit, bow, rain coat, and mid-driff. Information and pricing of these items will be released in May. 

Waiting List:

Last year we unfortunately we had to place children on a waiting list or turn them away due to increased amount of participants registered and limited spots available. This year we have worked to expand the amount of availability at each level however we need your support by registering early. By registering early will ensure a secure spot for your child. 

Gooo Gators!!
