Additional Gear

- ​Soccer shoes:

• Must fit well with soccer socks on or they will fly off.  
• Wearing too big or too small of a size could result in blisters.
• Try shoes on with soccer socks.

- Shin guards are not armor. Sizes XS and S fit most kids up to U10. Shin guards that cover the entire shin are too big and can be more harmful than helpful. A good rule of thumb is to to have the shin guard be the same size as your child's hand.
- Soccer ball must be division appropriate. Mark it with your child's name and a contact number in the event it gets left behind:
• U6 - U8 = size 3
• U10 - U11 = size 4
• U12 - U16 = size 5/regulation
- Drink container labeled with your child's name and a contact number in the event it gets left behind. 

TIPS:
​To help find your lost items faster, label your soccer balls and drink containers with your name and number using a permanent marker, then take a photo of it, that way if you accidentally forget it at practice or on the game field, you can forward the photo for faster identification and claim.
