The way each person looks represents everyone else in the organization. If you see someone who is violating these rules, or who is trying to skim by on the "letter of the law", let that person know. I know that talking to someone about this can be uncomfortable, but you aren't doing him or the club you represent any favors if you keep it to yourself.

Coaches do not have the right to change any part of the TVSC official uniform/dress code policy or alter the uniform kits in any way. If a coach violates this policy or goes against club rules, they will be subject to the Discipline and Review (D&R) process.
