My son is 2027 and in our public school we have received an email about ordering game shorts. Seems that our school district requires the players/parents to pay for game shorts.
I already asked the coach and his response was very concise; it's the players responsibility, not the schools to order shorts.

I'm guessing that he doesn't want to be bothered in collecting/distributing and inventorying shorts.

So, just wondering how uniforms (shorts specifically) are managed in other public schools?

the school i coach at provides game uniforms. if you need we also can provide helmets. pads, practice pinney are your responsibility. practice pack (sweats, shooting shirt, etc) are STRONGLY recommended but we can't force kids to buy them. usually we open a team store in november or so with a helmet purchase option, glove/pads purchase option, as well as the "mandatory" practice pack and other apparel options.
