Players are not allowed to wear their game jersey outside of AYF functions.  Wearing game jersey to school or school functions are not allowed.

The AYF will provide all equipment necessary except for Helmets, Shoes, Socks and "Athletic Supporters". Each football player will be given shoulder pads, hip pads, thigh pads, tail pad, kneepads, girdle, jersey name label, practice pants, (one) mouth guard, game uniform, and helmet decals. Most equipment will be handed out on the first day of practice. Game uniforms and decals will be provided at a later date. Game and practice uniforms should be kept clean.  See laundering instructions. 

All equipment is expected to be returned in good clean condition. Name labels should not be sewn on. Name labels should not be sewn on. Launder and fold pants and jerseys. If the equipment is not returned your deposit check of $150 will be cashed. 

AYF PLAYERS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO WEAR THEIR GAME JERSEY OUTSIDE OF AYF FOOTBALL FUNCTIONS.  That means that players should not wear their game jersey to school, after-school functions, etc.
 

The care of the uniform has become an important issue to the AYF.  Everyone is going to have to work together to maintain the uniforms we have. Your cooperation in this matter will be appreciated, since the league cannot afford to replace them every year.

The jerseys and pants should never be washed in chlorine bleach. Some of the stains are hard to get out, but nothing stronger than stain-remover or pre-wash solutions should be used.  As instructed they should be washed in COLD water this will help them from shrinking and fading.

HELMETS: The AYF emphasizes the need for safety first, in both practice and games. No player will be allowed to play with a helmet that does not fit correctly or meet the requirements of the EVW Youth Football League, Inc.  Every helmet must have the NOC-SAE marking on the helmet. Helmet accessories (pads, face guard (gray) and chin strap) are the responsibility of the parents.  Helmets (white) can be purchased at Lou’s Sporting or Nebraska Sports in Fremont (indicate that you’re with AYF), Hauff Sports in Omaha (Randy Raether of Arlington), or any other sporting goods store. 

SHOES and Socks: Molded sole shoes with non-removable cleats are legal provided the cleats, studs, or projections do not exceed 1/2" in length. These cleats or studs must be made of rubber or rubber type material that is non-abrasive and does not have, nor develop a cutting edge.  Socks should be maroon. 

ATHLETIC SUPPORTERS: male football players shall wear a good quality athletic supporter and cup.  

EYEGLASSES: When worn, eyeglasses shall be of athletic-approved construction with non-shattering glass (safety glass), or contact lenses. This applies to cheerleaders as well as players.
