Soccer Advice

My 4 yr. old is starting soccer on Saturday April 4th, I have already purchased the shin guards and practice ball she needs. However I need some advice with the shoes; does she need spikes or another type of shoe? Thank You for any advice.

What can I do next?

ask the league sometimes at that age just sneakers.

yes soccer cleats diff from baseball get them at payless

Yes--My son needed spikes for soccer. You can get them at Dick's Sporting Goods or similar.

Typically you do need the soccer cleats, a ball, shin guards, and socks. Dick's sells a package deal which makes the whole thing more affordable when you purchase everything together. You can either buy an Umbro package or an Adidas or Nike package deal.

My son is starting this Saturday also. We were told to get him cleats, we got them at payless for about 17 bucks.

My daughter is starting soccer this weekend too! You aren't by any chance with the Pottsgrove Soccer club, are you? :)

As far as shoes go, I believe soccer cleats are preferred. They are different than lets say a baseball cleat. We got ours at Dick's Sporting Goods. Just ask for soccer cleats and a salesperson will be able to point you in the right direction.

Good luck and have fun!
