Uniforms
Micro Program (U4–U8)
- Players receive a game t-shirt at their first practice.
- Families purchase soccer shorts and socks for games.
Classic Program (U9+)
- Families purchase home & away kits after registration closes.
- Ordering details are emailed once the uniform store opens.
Shin Guards
- Properly fitting shin guards are required for all players. As shin guard sizes increase, they become longer and wider to accommodate larger leg diameters.
- A player’s height is the most important factor when selecting a size. To measure height, have the child stand barefoot with feet slightly apart and their back against a wall. Then measure from the floor to the top of the child’s head.
Cleats
- Soccer cleats are different from baseball or football cleats.
- As players get older and games are referee-officiated, officials will check that cleats meet soccer regulations.
Soccer Balls
