Soccer Equipment

 

In addition to your uniform you will need:

 

1) Cleats, (not sneakers)  soccer is a dynamic sport that requires stability to prevent injury.

 

2) Shin guards, (avoid the type that have straps around back or stirups under the foot as these are very uncomfortable) Size of shin guards is not important but they are only meant to cover the center of the shin bone from a few inches below the knee to a few inches above the ankle.  They should not look like field hockey shin guards or hockey knee pads as these larger versions would restrict mobility, and cause friction with the knee and ankle.

 

3) Ball - Beginners do not need to spend a lot for a ball.  a $20-$25 ball is fine.  Please put your name on it. 

Balls come in 3 primary sizes depending on age group.

Size 3 is for U4-U8

Size 4 is for U9-U12

Size 5 is for U13 and up

 

4) Water Bottle
