Important Information and Potential Additional Costs
All players will need shin pads, a water bottle, and shoes.
Players will need Indoor or turf soccer shoes for indoor soccer.
Players will need outdoor cleats or running shoes for the outdoor season.
Green Campea shorts and socks are required for both community and premier players. They can be purchased at the SGSA office. Timbit and adult players do not need to purchase shorts and socks.
U4 to U19 community players are given a jersey to keep. These will be handed out to all players by the coach at the start of the season.
U9 to 19 premier players will be required to pay a deposit to receive a green sublimated jersey and a white sublimated jersey. Both jerseys must be returned at the end of the season. If jerseys are not returned or if they are returned damaged or stained, players will not receive their full jersey deposit.
All programs are based on player numbers, if there are not enough players to offer a particular program then an alternate will be offered.
Individual teams may decide on additional funds needed to support tournaments and other team activities.
