SAFETY AND EQUIPMENT:

We have had questions about what gear each age division will need. First, every player registered will get one jersey and one pair of soccer socks (for Spring Season only, Summer and Autumn will only come with shirts/jerseys). Everyone will need to get athletic shorts, and if desired, extra pairs of soccer socks. If your player wears glasses, they MUST have a strap on them for player safety. We also advise players do not wear jewelry of any kind (bracelets, necklaces, earrings, etc.) to the fields. This is for their safety as well as others around them. They will be asked to remove jewelry and we do not want anyone losing items at the fields.

U5 – We advise everyone have cleats and shin guards, but at this level there will not be any “competitive” play, so whatever your player is most comfortable in is best. It can be difficult to find shin guards that fit correctly at this age level as well, as you do not want the guards touching the player’s knee.

U7 and U9 – Cleats and shin guards are a requirement for player safety at this level. Make sure the shin guards do not reach your player’s knee for comfort/proper sizing.

U11 – U19 – Cleats and shin guards are a requirement for player safety at this level and will be checked by the Ref before each game.

For all age groups: Make sure your player does not have a front toe cleat on their cleats. A front toe cleat is for baseball or American football, NOT for soccer. Glasses straps are required for player safety. Make sure shin guards are INSIDE socks (do not put shin guards outside of socks and then pull them down over) and cannot be seen.

As always, if you have ANY questions, please feel free to ask, either via email or in person.
