Uniform Fees

As the spring season gets rolling, it is important to make sure that one element of our team uniform practice is made clear. This is regarding uniforms and equipment that is issued but not expected to be returned. Such items will carry with them a small, reasonable fee. 
Despite the fact that the Canton Public Schools does supply uniforms to our athletes, there is an additional fee associated with uniforms that are purchased by the school but then distributed to our students who, at that point, own them. Basically, we are talking about things that don't get returned to CHS at the end of the season. 
Items with a fee will include things like socks, baseball hats, swim suits, gymnastics leotards, polos and t-shirts. All of these items will then become the property of the student-athlete as opposed to other uniforms that are distributed at the beginning of the season and returned at the conclusion of the season.
The fee is necessary to allow the department to continue to purchase necessary equipment and uniforms for all of our sports. The fee will not reflect the entire cost of the item, just a portion of the costs. This will help off-set the purchase of these non-returnable items.
A partial price list of items is listed below:
Soccer/Field Hockey/Baseball Socks- $5/pair Baseball Hats- $10
Golf Polos- $20 Gymnastics Leotards- $30
Swimming Suit- $20 T-Shirts (tennis, etc.)- $10
