The Basics

Every individual on a team's roster is provided with a shirt - regardless of the status you assign them. Do not invite anyone unless you're certain they're playing on your team. If you pay for extra shirts, make sure the number of players on your roster matches the total number of shirts you want, as you will not receive more shirts than players listed on your roster unless you note in the "Comments" section during registration which extra sizes you want. Similarly, if you have fewer players on your roster than the default shirt quantity, you may still only receive the number of shirts for players listed on your roster, unless you note which other sizes you want.

Shirts are generally only ordered once per season. A player must be on the roster on the shirt deadline date provided to captains via e-mail in order to receieve a shirt. Please don't pay attention to any language on the website about shirt size change deadlines, shirt cutoff deadlines, or anything else. We don't use this but do have to enter a date in that field.

Returning Teams

Returning teams may use shirts from previous seasons. Rules:

1. The team must have used the same color in the most recent season. Example: If a summer league team wants to use shirts they already have, they must have played in the spring season immediately preceding, and their first color choice must be the same color they had in the spring season. Teams that take seasons off lose any right to reuse the same color if another team selects it
2. You will always be asked for three color choices because the system has no way to differentiate between returning and non-returning teams. You may also not get your first color choice if you've played before but took a season or more off
3. The captain must indicate in the "Comments" box during registration that everyone already has a shirt (or most players have shirts). If this isn't done, the team is subject to the Default Shirt Order listed below
4. If you only need a few new shirts, you must specify which sizes you want in the "Comments" section during registration or we'll order shirts for your team at our discretion
5. Your entire team needs to wear the shirts every week. If we see a substantial portion of the team not wearing shirts, we will order them for you in future seasons. If your team uses a lot of subs it's in your best interest to get them shirts or lose the ability to receive a shirt credit
6. We apply shirt credits against the team balance when shirts are ordered, so don't pay your team balance until after the shirt order date that will be provided to you in the captain email.

You will receive a credit for every shirt you don't order. For example, if you only need three new football shirts, you'll be credited for the seven you don't order. Credits are usually applied shortly after the shirt order date communicated to captains via email. 

Regular Shirts

These are 100% cotton shirts and are the default option. "Small" is the smallest size available for cotton shirts. Please see the color grid above for available choices. You can order white shirts and tie dye them if you want.

"Dri-Fit" Shirts

Dri-fit shirts are 100% polyester and are lighter, more breathable, and more flexible than the standard cotton shirt. If you select these for your team, you will be charged an extra $3.69 per shirt. PLEASE NOTE: These shirts tend to run larger than the regular cotton shirts and do not shrink. Some females think the "Small" dri-fit shirts are still too big, so we also have "Extra Small" as an option. Please see the color grid above for available choices.

Broomball Shirts

Broomball shirts are long-sleeve, 100% cotton shirts. See the color grid above for available choices.

Volleyball Shirts

MSSC may offer tank tops as an option for volleyball only. They cost more than a regular shirt for some reason, so an additional $4 per shirt will be added to your team balance. They are only available in cotton and are a “men’s cut.” The actual cut may vary slightly from what is pictured above. Selecting these is all or nothing. See above for a sample of what these look like and the available colors.

Default Shirt Orders (a.k.a. what happens if you don't follow our rules)

A shirt will be ordered for each player on your roster. You will be charged for extra shirts (anything over the default quantities listed below). Charges for extra shirts will be added to your team balance if your roster exceeds the default quantity and you did not correctly specify the number of extra shirts your team needs. If you don't have a complete roster entered, MSSC will order shirts at its discretion. Default shirt quantities:

Broomball: 10

Dodgeball: 10

Flag Football: 10

Kickball and Softball: 15

Volleyball: 8

All players are expected to wear their league shirts every game. Teams in organized sports at every level from tee ball through the majors all wear the same shirt or jersey and our leagues are no different. If we see a high percentage of players on your team without shirts, we will assume you need them going forward.

Extra Shirts and Shirt Credits

Teams who already have shirts or jerseys from a prior season may reuse them and request a credit for any shirts they don't order. The credit is $4.22 per short-sleeved shirt and $7.91 per long-sleeved shirt at the time of this posting (and subject to change). Extra shirts are $9 each for standard cotton t-shirts. Additional long sleeve shirts are $12 each (also subject to change). The extra cost covers administrative time needed to manually update several things on the back end.
