****Remember our new rule for Pub players: To receive shirt, players MUST have coaches email
me the player's home address or the coach's home address. Shirts will NO LONGER be sent to the
schools. Too many people with sticky fingers, apparently. Too many kids reported in recent seasons
they were not receiving the shirts. Send address to silaryt@phillynews.com. Thanks!****
