Shirts and Equipment:
For Grades 1-8 to reduce increasing fees we ask you to buy a solid grey tshirt and solid black tshirt to wear (you wear grey if you are home and you wear black if you are away team). If you want to buy a CSI Logo T-Shirt that most players use, you can from Attitude Designs for $13 each. You will wear these shirts for as long as you play CSI and the colors never change.
If you are new to soccer you will need the following inexpensive equipment as well:
Shin Guards, Socks to cover shin guards, shoes/cleats, Soccer ball and simple water bottle. We also recommend a simple string bag (old backpack, gym bag etc) to keep them contained for practice days and game days. This would be big enough that you can gather all that you need including the ball in there to transport it.
To purchase these items we suggest you can do so at Attitude Designs, Dicks Sporting Goods, 5 Below or Target. For shin guards we recommend you purchase a slip in kind (no stirrups). This will make it easier for the child to put them on themselves and learn to be responsible for their own being. For shoes you are more than welcome to buy cleats or come and see the cleat exchange we have at the soccer shed and use them. When outgrown, simply return and find another pair.
Here is a link to what the equipment looks like and where they can be bought:
CSI Shirts: $26 for both colors. They fit true to size, order at least 10 days before you need it. They have both youth sizes and adult sizes.
