Typically, uniforms are distributed at the last practice before games begin or prior to the 1st game by Lucky Shoals staff. Parents will be notified and must sign for their child’s uniform.

How are the coaches selected?
We are a government-run organization relying on volunteers to help. Without the help of our parents and community, we would be unable to offer this program. All coaches must pass a background check in order to coach for Mustang Athletics and are required to attend a coach’s clinic held prior to the first practice.

What if I want to volunteer to coach?
Fill out the Coaches application and return to Mustang Athletics Staff member. Priority is given to coaches that have previous coaching experience with Mustang Athletics, or another Youth Athletic Association. If we have too many coaches, the last volunteer to turn in their coach’s packet will not be able to coach. Each coach may have 1 assistant coach per team.
