Care of Equipment:
To insure that the equipment issued at the beginning of the year stays in good condition, please follow a few simple guidelines for its care:
| Helmet: The helmet should be cleaned regularly with hot soapy water. Do not use solvent or abrasive cleaners. Check the helmet daily for loose screws, cracks or loose padding. |
| Shoulder Pads: Wash shoulder pads occasionally with hot soapy water. Check the straps daily to insure a snug, yet comfortable, fit. |
| Rib Pads: Machine wash in cold water. Line dry; do not tumble dry. Do not allow rib pads to mildew. |
| Girdle: Remove pads and machine wash in cold water. Line dry do not tumble dry. Reinsert pads before dressing-up for practice or game. |
| Pants: Remove all pads and wash in warm water. Do not bleach!!!! Use an enzymatic cleaner (color-safe stain-remover stick or spray) to treat stains. Line dry; do not tumble dry. Machine drying will weaken spandex . |
| Game Jersey: Wash in warm water. Line dry, do not tumble dry. Excessive heat will crack and remove names and numbers. |
Please wash and dry the pants prior to turning in your equipment at the end of the year. Unwashed pants will not be accepted.
