Kickoff Events: With the rapidly evolving COVID situation, some Kickoffs are transitioning to Kickoff Kit pickup only. If this happens, attending teams should be contacted by the Kickoff Coordinator.
However, it would also be a good practice to read the notes in the Registration Details section (if present) on the event page for the Kickoff you are attending. You can search for your Kickoff event listing by using
the Team and Event Search Page. Please check before you leave for that Kickoff!
