IMPORTANT NEWS regarding EARRINGS and SHIN GUARDS!!
1. Absolutely under NO circumstances are earrings to be worn during practices or games.  So if your child wants their ears pierced wait til the off season because they are NOT allowed on the soccer field during play/game.
2. Shin guards must be worn UNDER socks.  They can not be on top of the sock with the sock pulled over them and taped.  The referee will ask you to take them off and place them under the sock in order for play to resume.
