Do h.s. varsity football players have to pay for their uniforms or are they provided by the school?

Question

A family member is being told that 300.00 is needed to pay for his uniform.(minus the cleats). Can that be right?

Answer 1

Usually the school pays. But there are some occasions where you may be forced to pay...for instance if there is a failed levy. I had to pay to run track about two years ago at my school plus uniforms. Most likely you will pay for your cleats, but the uniform should be free.

Answer 2

what kind of c**p bag school do you go to

Answer 3

All sports players, and cheerleaders pay for their uniforms.   Unless the school says otherwise.  When I was in high school, at lot of kids sold candy to pay for their uniforms.  Does the school have a program to help pay for uniforms?

Answer 4

No... You pay to play, Equipment is free. I don't really get that....

Answer 5

Usually, the uniforms are provided by the school but that's if the organization has you involved in a fundraiser.

That's how it is at my school.

When I joined football, they gave me a sheet that said "Costs to outfit football Player"

the total was $800 but that's including all the pads and sweatshirts & jerseys. It's all free if you do the fundraising.  

Answer 6

it really depends on the school, i mean, if its a small,poor school in a small town or city maybe, but if its a big school in a half-assed decent size city? hes full of c**p....

Answer 7

im my school.. u get the uniform and if u want to buy the jersey at the end of the year u pay $100 and u get 2 keep it... but our team did buy altrernate jerseys with our names on them for $90 for the uniform with persoanlized jerseys... so idk about $300... prob less if they charge u

Answer 8

they'll probably let him keep his stuff otherwise that's ridiculous, my school provides equipment and its returned at the end of the season.

Answer 9

School should be paying. Thats what a booster club and such is for. I want to a new school with plenty of rich kids so maybe its different at other schools. Though a booster club raises money for things like that
