Shin guards

Must be worn during all practices and games.  Shin guards must be fully covered by the sock.  Here are some examples of acceptable shin guards.

Cleats

We do not require that cleats be worn.  But if they are worn the must not have a front cleat or cleats.  Front cleats, like on baseball/softball shoes are very dangerous on a soccer field.  Referees will inspect cleats before games and will send a player off if their cleats are deemed to be dangerous.

Below are examples of acceptable cleats for soccer.  Please note the cleats below do not have the front toe cleat

Jewelry

No jewelry of any kind is to be work while playing soccer.  The referees will inspect players before games and ask a player to remove the jewelry.  Under no circumstances are the referees allowing to let players tape over earrings.  Earrings must be removed.  Necklaces, bracelets, including rubber ones, will also need to be removed.  Plastic hair clips and bands will also need to be removed.

The only exception to this rule is for MedicAlert Bracelets, which will need to be covered over

Sweat bands and soft hair bands are allowed.
