Prior to registration, please check with your son for his favorite numbers. Each player will have the option of retaining their number from last year (grades 5-8) or select a new number (grades 4-8). Priority will be based on last years retaining number and then registration date for new numbers. We are requesting up to three numbers in the registration.

After August 1st, all registrations should register with "Other" and include three choices (this can include last year's number if desired). Numbers will be assigned as of this date so prior year numbers may have been selected by another player. If no choice is selected or all choices are taken, we will assign or do our best to assign one similar to selections.

 We want everyone to have the proper size jersey. In an effort to achieve this goal, we ask that players identify their size before the season starts. Below is a size chart provided by the manufacturer. If it is as confusing to you as it is to me, the other option is to stop by Varsity Sports in Maple Plain and try them on for size. There will be shoulder pads available also. 

WE WILL BE PLACING OUR ORDER FOLLOWING THE JULY 4TH HOLIDAY AT THE LATEST. FOR THOSE ORDERS NOT RECEIVED, WE WILL ESTIMATE SIZING FROM PRIOR YEARS AT THE TEAM LEVEL. SPECIFIC SIZING OPTION WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE AFTER THE ORDER.

We offer jersey number selection on the registration form. Each player will have priority on their prior year's number. Any open number request will be based on registration date.

A separate form/email will follow after registration to record jersey size.

Orono Youth Football is a parent sponsored equipment program (just like hockey, baseball, etc.). With this program, parents can elect to purchase new or used equipment, have extra pants for practice, decide what type of helmet is preferred for your son, etc. Parents will not have to meet specific pick up or drop off dates. Parents have control on the condition of the equipment for your son each year.

We have chosen Varsity Sports (formerly Westonka Sports) as our preferred retail supplier for equipment.   Specifics for equipment requirements are noted below.  Westonka Sports will carry the required blue pants, red socks, and "game ready" helmets, which will include a hard cup chin strap and orono spartan stickers.  All other equipment listed below will also be stocked.  Varsity Sports will offer special Orono Youth Football Package Pricing with a 15% discount for your convenience and savings. Varsity will have trade-in programs for used helmet and shoulder pads. See the separate document above for details. 

Game jerseys will be handed out at practice before the game season. Players may keep their game jerseys at the end of the season. Below is a list of items to be purchased by parents.

Specific Uniform requirements:

Football pants: Dark Blue.

Helmet: White with a hard cup chin strap. Orono Spartan stickers for the side of the helmet will be available and applied at Westonka Sports or at the start of the season by the coaches.

Sock: Red, knee high

Additional equipment of parents choice:

Shoes (no metal spikes)

Shoulder pads (football only)

Mouth guards (suggest having a spare)

Protective cup

Practice jersey (blue similar to game jersey)

Practice pants (optional)
