The cost of uniforms is separate from your player’s registration fees. The Recreational uniform kit is provided through Soccer.com and is approx. $90 + taxes & shipping. Uniforms are valid from Fall 2025-Spring 2027.
For uniform information & purchasing, click here.
Your player’s uniforms are customized which means it may take several weeks to ship. Please keep this in mind when ordering. If your uniform doesn’t arrive before the first game, improvise by using a t-shirt, which your child is welcome to decorate & customize.
Over the course of the season, each player in the U6-U14 age groups can participate in training sessions with a professional coach, assisted by a team of volunteer coaches and competitive players within our club. These sessions focus on individual skill and development of the fundamental techniques in an active and fun environment. Skills training sessions are separate from your players weekly team practice.
All sessions take place on Bear Branch Sports Fields: #6. Players must bring an inflated soccer ball and plenty of water
