Equipment

Equipment - We provide everything you will need except: Helmet, Shoulder Pads, Jock, and Shoes (no metal spikes). For the most part any cleats will do. For actual football equipment there are many choices. Retail stores like TL Fritz in Winnetka and Dicks Sports in Glenview.  We also will have a Riddell and other vendors available at our registration meetings and certain practice events for your convenience. 

Spirit wear:

Equipment:

We supply everything you generally need except a white helmet, shoulder pads, and cleats. 

We do provide 3 jerseys, game pants, socks, mouth guards, belts for the pants, center stripe and side helmet stickers for helmets (we will apply at practice). We will hand out:

3 Jerseys – A white away game jersey, colored home jersey with name, a white practice jersey (old practice jerseys or any white jersey will do) we have new ones available.

Pants – We hand out custom game pants. You will need to provide a girdle (underpants) with hip, tail, and thigh pads built in. You will need to put knee pads into the slots in the pants. (We supply the knee pads) We recommend you wear those pants for both practices and games. However you can wear different pants to practice if you wish of any color. We do have some extra practice pants and you are free to take those while they last or get your own.

Mouth guards - We provide mouth guards however we do not have the special ones for braces. If you need special ones you must supply your own. The mouth guards must NOT be clear color. Follow the directions to mold it ti the player’s mouth and or trim it. Attach the mouthguard to the helmet and do not lose it. We do have extras.

Helmets - Only new helmets or helmets that have been certified within the past 2 years are acceptable. It is also important to label your helmet on the inside as they all look alike and it easy to switch on accident - so use a black marker. We will install side and center custom team stickers to the helmets. We will also try to put jersey numbers on the backs of the helmets.

Misc - Keep everything in a bag with your name on it so nothing gets lost. Cut the excess off the pants belts at an angle and burn the end to prevent fraying. Tape up both ends of the elastic strap on the shoulder pads with athletic tape (we have plenty) so as to keep the straps from falling off. ALWAYS BRING WATER in a labeled water bottle - we will be taking many water breaks. We suggest you get arm guards and or rib guards. It is not necessary, but we have found that they boost confidence. 

The first week of practice we only wear helmets and not the rest of the pads. That gives you a week to get equipment figured out.

I hope this provides you with the information you will need and all our coaches are happy to help.
