Dress Codes
Policies and Procedures | Game Fees | Uniform Code | Working for NCOA

| Introduction |
NCOA takes appearance and dress code very seriously.
Get a proper fitting uniform; keep it pressed and cleaned.
You only get one change to make a first impression.
Look Professional — Look the Part!
|
| Equipment Cost |
NCOA recognizes that the initial cost of equipment and uniform for each sport can seem a bit overwhelming.
However, this gear and clothing will last for many years if cared for properly. The amount of money you can earn in that time will greatly exceed this investment.
Also remember that all equipment and uniforms are tax deductible as a business expense. So keep your receipts for this purposes.
NCOA Jackets and Caps may be purchased at T&B Sports across from Santa Rosa High School.
