Uniforms
Standard team uniforms should consist of a short robe constructed of some light weight, yet durable fabric. Robes should be in the team colors and can carry team crests, insignia, and player names. Length of the sleeves should not be longer than the elbow when the arms are held outstretched to the side. Length of the robe should be to the knees, but not below. The robe should be tied at the waist with a rope or belt. If a belt is used a buckle of minimal size should be used in order to avoid injury. The robe should be loose fitting enough so as to not impede play. A neckerchief in team colors bearing the team emblem can also be worn.

Cut the front and back neck openings as shown. Fold the edges of the arms, the skirt, and around the neck opening under 1/4" and stitch.
With the right sides together stitch under the arms and down each side. Turn right sides out. Use a cord or sash of the team colors to tie around your waist.
