All players need to have cleats (or sneakers), shin guards and a ball. BSC supplies the uniform T-shirt.

Sneakers or Cleats? Sneakers are generally fine for players in the Under 6 (U6) age group. The advantage of soccer cleats is that they help players to maintain stability when running and attempting to maneuver on a soft or damp field.

Soccer Balls: Soccer balls come in different sizes.

Under 6s and 8s use a size 3 ball

Under 10s and 12s use a size 4 ball

Under 14s use a size 5 ball

Sewn-seam balls are typically of higher quality and will last longer. It's also good to invest in a small hand-held pump to keep your player’s ball properly inflated.

Shin Guards: Players must have shin guards or they will not be allowed to play or practice. Absolutely no exceptions! Shin guards are to be worn inside your player’s soccer socks. Remember, this rule is for the safety of your player.

Shorts: All players should wear black shorts for games.

Socks: navy or black soccer are preferred.
