Required Equipment
All players on all levels must wear shin guards. Shin guards are also required to be covered with a sock. Shoes should not have a forward toe cleat. No metal spikes or cleats. No screw cleats. Soccer cleats are recommended because they do help with control and decreases slipping. All players are required to have a ball. See Ball size requirement listed above for each grade level.
Referees
We must remember that it does not matter who wins or loses. We are teaching - not winning. If we teach right now, the winning will come later. Referees for all games will be high school students that play high school soccer. They will miss calls. The referee does not care who wins or loses. They are helping support our communities and develop young athletes. It is expected that coaches, parents and players treat them with respect. If you have concerns about a referee bring it to your the Soccer Director's attention.
