Soccer Ball Sizes

Soccer Cleats or Boots
To help avoid knee injuries, soccer cleats have no toe cleat that may catch in the turf while kicking.

Shin Guards
Shin guards are required safety gear for all ages and must be worn during practices and games. During practices they may be worn over the sock, but during games they must be work under the socks.
There are a couple of styles and it is a matter of personal choice what your child wears. Some styles have an ankle wrap to hold the guard in place. Other styles have a strap around the calf. Most older players prefer a simple slip in guard that slides in and is held in place by the sock.
