Mizuno Challenge T-shirt 2012

Cost: $12/short Sleeve, $15/long Sleeve
We were able to get some more shirts in most sizes and are still taking pre-orders until we run out or Thursday (Feb 16th) at 5pm-which ever comes first.
Note: We have already sold 1/2 of our inventory with pre-sales alone.  If you don’t order a shirt by Feb the 9th then there may not be any at the tournament gym site- especially if you play on the 18th.  We are anticipating that they all sell out by the 11th if not before.
The only way to guarantee that you get a tournament shirt is to do a pre-order by the 9th of Feb.  To pre-order a shirt you must do it as a team.  We are not doing individual pre-orders.  To pre-order as a team you must order at least 5 shirts for the team.
How to Pre-order:  Email Carrie at carrieshick@gmail.com and indicate the size of the shirts you need, the type of shirt (short or long sleeve), the Team name, and the name of the team mom/team rep that will need to deliver the shirts to on the day of the tournament.  Please have cash or check (made out to Carrie Shick) ready for payment upon delivery.
