DESIGN OUR 2022 YCC UNIFORMS! Calling all creative minds: we are on the lookout for the best jersey designs for our 2022 Youth Club Championship teams! Do you think you could create the winning design? BUYA, in partnership with Boon Technical Clothing , want you to help us come up with the best looking jerseys at the tournament. Our teams need both a dark and a light jersey; while we'll consider designs for just a single item, it would be better to submit a full coordinated kit! Once we've received submissions, BUYA will select a set of finalist designs, then the community will vote to decide what our YCC contingent will wear as they head to Minnesota in search of a national title this summer! YOUTH CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP DATE TENTATIVE DATE August 6-8, 2022 Blain, MN
