What do I need to play football?
Cleats: Game cleats must be white or black. Our preference being that whichever shoe color you pick is majority white or majority black. Please stay away from colors that aren’t part of our uniform or school colors (ie. anything not white, gray, black or one of our blues).
Socks: Our sock color is white. Socks will be issued prior to fall camp. We will have some extras if needed at $10 a pair.
Sleeves/Tights: All white - No exceptions!
Gloves: Stay within our team / school colors (Gray, White, Black or Blues)
Mouthguards: Please purchase a mouthguard for summer and fall camp (mold as needed)
I will be sending Coach Roga's summer training email this Wednesday for anybody who didn't previously receive it. Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions!
Much Appreciated,
Coach Walch
