#5. What football gear do I need to buy for my future Dragon?

The Association supplies all the specialized football gear needed to play the game.  Your future Dragon will just need a mouthguard (required) and cleats (recommended). Bantam aged players will also need to supply their own girdle.
Helmets, shoulder pads, football pants, belts, and jerseys are all loaned out to the player through the Association. 
We do require a $300 postdated gear deposit cheque for December 1, held until gear is returned at the end of the season.

Yes, you must apply through Jumpstart or KidsSport as soon as possible and have confirmation paperwork at time of registration.

Pre-season conditioning camps & training camps will get underway the first week of August and run 3-4 nights each week until the first week of September.
