Safety
The Spartan coaching staff reserves the right to hand out equipment only when a young person has proven to the best of our knowledge and observations that they will be putting themselves in a competitive situation and not a dangerous situation.
Freshman/Sophomore Levels have a non-cut approach, as long as rules are followed and commitment is shown.
Varsity too welcomes all, but has less “chances” as under-classmen teams
