Hello, hope everyone is staying safe and healthy! As a Club Sport at UConn, we are looking for fundraising support to help finance our yearly expenses. These funds help considerably to pay for things like weekly matches, travel tournaments, and equipment. We'd greatly appreciate any donations you are willing to give - please follow the link below to donate and share with your friends and family. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve missed out on over a year of competition and team activities; so, any donations would mean the world to help us get the best experience we possibly can post-pandemic. Thank you for your continued support and we hope to see you all at future matches! :)

NOTE: when you are uploading the form to the portal, select “Health History Form” and upload the Clearance to Play. You must have the Clearance to Play completed, signed, and uploaded to the Student Health Portal to tryout. If you are having any difficulties please let me know so I can be of some assistance.

Lastly:
It is imperative that you follow these steps before tryouts because if not you will not be allowed to participate in tryouts. I know the involvement fair got moved to Monday, September 9th, so for those of you who CANNOT make tryouts this weekend, please stop by at our station on Monday so we can get your name in our system to see if we have enough interest & room in our schedule to host a second tryout for those who were not able to make the tryouts this weekend. GOOD LUCK and I hope to see you at Tryouts this weekend & the Involvement Fair September 9th!
