The good news: Lots of girls are using their new backpacks! The bad news: Most of the backpacks look alike!

How to ID

We recommend that you customize your daughter’s backpack with a luggage tag, colored wrist strap, ribbon, small stuffed animal, etc. You may also choose to have your daughter’s backpack embroidered with her s name or initials and uniform number. This will help minimize lost & found situations.

What to store

Ball
Water
Warm-up jacket / pants
Extra hair accessories such as headbands or scrunchies (pre-wrap makes a quick and easy headband)
An extra pair of shoelaces
Slides, sandals or flip flops
Sunscreen (in a small zip-lock bag to prevent leakage messes)
First-aid supplies: band-aids, Neosporin, tape or pre-wrap
Towel
A small roll of TP in a zip-lock bag
A large garbage bag to cover the backpack in bad weather

Another tip is to attach a carabineer to the handle. If the ground is wet (or ants are nearby), a player can clip her bag to a nearby fence. If you have other tips, please feel free to share them.

Game days

Girls should pack their alternate colored uniform shirt, shorts and socks in a large zip-lock bag.
