Uniform Store Reopened
PLEASE PURCHASE A UNIFORM IF NEEDED THIS WEEKEND
The Powell Lacrosse uniform link is live. Please read in entirety as families are now ordering their game Jersey and uniform directly from Powell. Due to the consistent request for the children to keep their Game jersey at the end of the season we are NOW having families order all 3 directly; the Game Jersey, Shorts and Shooter/Under Shirt.
Charlestown Lacrosse will not be handing out game jerseys or shorts/shooters.
Siblings and cousins etc. can absolutely pass on uniforms and game jerseys they have outgrown to another player as desired instead of ordering a new one.
The uniform store closes 3/1…. there will not be any late orders past 3/1 to ensure all uniforms arrive in time for the season.
If your child needs a new uniform (including game jersey) please order ASAP.
- Sizing: add 1 size to what size your child currently wears for gym shorts/swim trunks, t shirt etc.
- Game Jersey
- If your child played last year but you need to order your child a larger size, make sure you order the same uniform number they currently have. I.e., the number on the back 11, 23, 19 etc.
- If you lost your Game jersey & forgot what # your child wore last season then follow below, same as new families for jersey #
- If your child is new to Charlestown Lacrosse, please order as follows.
- The day of the month they were born on as follows.
- Jan, March, May, July, Sept, Nov birth months
- The exact day they were born on, i.e., 1st = 1, 2nd =2 etc.
- Feb, April, June, Aug, Oct, Dec
- The day they were born on +31, the 1st of the month =32, 2nd = 33, 3rd=34, 4th=35 etc.
- This will ensure we limit the duplicate numbers within the same School Grade year. With over 450 children playing lacrosse annually in Charlestown it will be impossible to not have some duplicates, but this will limit duplicate #’s.
