​

  • Watch for your email to come directly from Soccer Master. Once you receive it, please order right away — games can start as early as August.
  • If you order a training top, you should consider getting the personalization/number on the back. This may allow you to wear it over your jersey on a cold day (it's up to the referee)
  • You may want to consider getting multiple training shirts so you always have a clean one for practice.
  • You may want to consider getting multiple pairs of socks.
  • Many of the uniform pieces come in women's sizes too. Youth Medium is about the same size as Women's XS but with a more feminine cut. Contact Soccer Master for more help.
  • Parents, you can order items such as training tops for yourself as well.
  • If you buy one of the optional backpacks, you can take it to Van Ginkel's Sporting Goods in Des Moines to get your last name embroidered to make it easy to tell it apart from all the other players' bags. Cost for personalization is $7.50, and if you drop it off on a Monday, they should have it done by the following Monday.
