Team Funds Request Process

Uniforms: The Cardinal Club will consider a uniform replacement request once every three (3) years for each team. The Cardinal Club maintains a rotation schedule so that teams are treated fairly and receive funding in a predictable cycle.

Equipment: Equipment requests will be reviewed upon individual team request. Replacement of damaged or outdated equipment is prioritized.
