Uniform Subsidy
The BCTA provides uniform subsidies of up to $150.00 per set of playing shirts/singlets. To claim the subsidy, teams need to purchase a new set of playing shirts / singlets, pay for them up front, and then present the receipt. Any supplier may be used. Shorts, socks and other parts of a uniform are not covered sorry. Teams with outstanding registration fees are ineligible. Contact Us for further details.
