Uniforms & Equipment

The school provides uniforms and equipment to participating student-athletes . These items remain the property of the school and are to be used only when authorized by the Athletic Director ( not for recreation , P . E . classes , or outside-of-school events ). Only uniforms issued by the CCS athletic department will be permitted to be worn during athletic competitions .
Students who lose or damage uniforms or equipment will be required to pay a replacement fee ( amount to be determined by the Athletic Director ).
During the season , athletes are expected to routinely launder uniforms according to the care instructions given when uniforms are distributed at the start of each season .
All uniforms and equipment must be returned by the Monday after the last competition of the season . All uniforms must be properly laundered and identified when returned .
Coaches and the Athletic Director will determine and enforce which practice equipment and clothing student-athletes are to wear . Safety concerns and modesty will be used to determine these guidelines .
