Battle uniforms/t-shirts

The top two teams from each grade head into district battle.  

This year, the uniforms you create for the battles at University Schools will be the uniforms you wear to district battles.   Please remember, there can be no book titles or author names on shirts and uniforms must be school appropriate.  

Thank you for representing University Schools well!

Battle dates and team poster, uniforms and name

University Schools battle dates have been posted!  See 2014 battle dates on the right hand side of this page.


As a team you get to create a team poster, decide on team uniforms and team names.  Get creative as you would like as long as everything is school appropriate.  Also, book titles and author names MAY NOT be included on the poster, the uniforms or in the team name.
