We are a soccer organization, a community, a lifestyle, a family, an adventure, a learning experience, a place to make memories, and a season of exciting and busy Saturdays, all wrapped up in color-coordinated jerseys and cleats.
Give your child the opportunity to play soccer and learn about life, sportsmanship, and the fun of competition and physical activity with a soccer program that has been kicking around since 1964.
Support Your child
You can support your soccer player by providing proper equipment including clothes, shoes and water, for practices and game.
EQUIPMENT
Each player must be dressed as follows for each game:
A. *Jersey tucked into shorts. (Please take care of it by washing, it in warm water and
drying it in a warm, NOT HOT, dryer. Do not iron it. Do not add or alter it other than sizing.
B. *Shorts (uniforms are to be worn for games, not practice).
C. Shin guards are mandatory (practice and games).

sneakers. Metal cleats are not permitted.

The players cannot wear bracelets, earrings (please ask child to wait till after the season to
get ears pierced), wrist watches, barrettes or any other such objects including a cast or
