What Do I need to bring every week?
It is advisable for each player to have their own shin guards and water bottles each week. While it is preferred for your child to wear soccer boots, running shoes may be used if soccer boots are not available. Please be aware that conditions can become slippery during the winter months, and we strongly recommend using appropriate footwear.
