Yes, all participants must purchase a tshirt/uniform through the Skyhawks Sports website. One shirt is required per year.
If a child is playing multiple sports, they can wear their same shirt for all sports.
Will you need parent volunteer coaches?
Depending on the number of kids who participate, we may ask for volunteer parent coaches. Please email colorado@skyhawks.com if you are interested in volunteer coaching.
All coaches (volunteers, too) must be background checked via Skyhawks Sports.
Do you have paid coaching positions?
We do, however, we are hoping to enlist Drake staff for these roles to ensure fairness to all players.
If you are willing to volunteer, we would love the extra help if needed. The need will be based on the number of participants in each sport.
