Do I have to purchase any equipment for my child?
The organization supplies your child with all the football equipment needed for his/her safety. Helmet with chinstrap, Shoulder pads, 7 piece pad set (2 knee pads, 2 hip pads, 2 thigh pads and 1 tailbone pad) Practice pant and jersey, 2 game jerseys and 1 game pant, belt, game socks and mouth piece.
You will need to purchase a football “Girdle” for the protective pads. Typically a 5 pocket girdle is suitable.
You will need to purchase an athletic supporter and cup for your child which must be worn at every practice and game.
Your child will be required to wear shoes of the type known as “all purpose” wherein the CLEAT is cylindrical in shape and an integral part of the shoe (molded plastic or rubber), or those known as “Athletic Sneakers.” Screw in cleats are specifically PROHIBITED.
