These come in different sizes based on your child’s height and weight. Look on the package for a guide to what size is best for your child. (Tip: shin guards are meant to be worn inside their socks.)

Get soccer-specific cleats; never choose metal ones. If you’re just starting out, tennis shoes are OK, but cleats are recommended.
Your child will want to wear clothing that’s easy to move around and run in, such as athletic shorts and a T-shirt, avoiding anything heavy or baggy. If your child needs a jersey or pinnie, the team or organization will either provide it or have it available for purchase.
This isn’t required, but we definitely encourage it. Your child will be running around a lot, and hydration is key.
