Your pinnie number is how collegiate coaches will ID you during gameplay and skills sessions, and how staff will ID you during the player combine. Please wear black shorts if possible. Boys check-ins will take place near the outdoor turf field, Girls indoors at the TRAC’s front desk just inside the facility’s entryway.
