Halloween Classic Tournament Apparel

We remind you that our online store open to allow you to place your individual orders for tournament apparel (New this year). Parents and players may view AND ORDER this year's offerings at this web page. Team managers no longer need to consolidate everything into a single order for the team. Each parent can place their own order and pay online with the team's order delivered to the manager at the Friday night check-in for distribution.

Parents are not to come to check-in to receive their order!! A single consolidated team delivery will be provided to the team manager/contact who comes to registration. This person will need to distribute those items to the individual team members and their parents.

The website address you can share with your team is http://www.fsc-store.com/CLASSIC. The system is independent of your GotSoccer logon. Follow the instructions on the site. Use a credit card for payment. There are no check payments for apparel. The order will be delivered at check-in. You will be charged the highlighted pre-sale prices. The full price to be charged at the event is shown for your reference.

THE DEADLINE FOR PLACING YOUR ORDER IS FRIDAY, OCTOBER 12.
