what gear does my child need?

SOCCER CLEATS

Not required but very highly recommended. You do not need to go buy expensive cleats! You can go to Dick's Sporting Goods and get decent cleats for $20-$35. Dick's also offers a starter kit with shoes, ball, and shingurds for around $40, which you can get at a 20% savings at our exclusive RASA Shopping Days before the fall and spring seasons.

SHIN GUARDS

*REQUIRED*

Every player MUST wear shin guards when taking the field.

SOCCER BALL

Every player MUST have a properly sized soccer ball. They should bring their soccer ball to every single practice with them. RASA can not provide balls for every coach so every player has a ball at their feet at practice. That would be 1500+ balls. Please see below for the proper size ball for your player

• U4 through U8 - Size 3
• U9 through U12 - Size 4
• U13 & U14 - Size 5

COLD WEATHER CLOTHING

• Long sleeves under their jersey. Examples: long-sleeved shirts, sweatshirts (not hooded!), compression cold gear. Dress in layers!
• Hats
• Gloves
• Balaklavas or Neck Gaiter
• Sweatpants
• Leggings
