F.A.Q
◆
What should I bring to my first practice?
You should bring/wear athletic clothes, running shoes (cleats if you already have them), and a water bottle.
Coaches will help you figure out the proper type of cleats, shorts, mouth guard, and socks (for matches). So, it is best if you wait to purchase these items until you have met with a coach first.
