Back-to-Soccer Checklist
All players MUST wear shin guards for all practices and games. Shin guards should be fully covered by long soccer socks.
Soccer cleats are strongly encouraged for all players Grade 1 and older. Cleats must be of molded rubber – not metal cleats allowed! Athletic shoes (gym shoes, tennis shoes, etc.) and turf shoes are permitted. Cleats with front toe studs (baseball, football, lacrosse) may NOT be worn. Shoes should have a ¼ to a ½ inch of room at the toe for proper fitting.
No jewelry is allowed; this is a safety issue for both the player with earrings and the other players on the field. It is recommended that players who are thinking of piercing their ears do so in the off season as this rule does apply to all earrings. Taping the earrings is not a viable alternative.
Due to COVID-19, all players must wear a mask or face covering to and from the field. Masks/coverings are not required while actively participating. Hand sanitizer should also be brought to each session and game.
Properly inflated and sized soccer ball:
Minis & Micros: size 3
Rec 1 (1st & 2nd Grade), U8 Academy: size 3
Rec 2 (3rd-6th Grade), Challenge 1, Challenge 2: size 4
Classic, HS 7-7: size 5
Large water bottle or jug
Weather appropriate clothing: gloves, hats, base layer, jacket or sweatshirt, leggings or track pants when cold; t-shirt, shorts when hot.
