Walmart had the right size shin guards. I think there is an AYSO sale going on right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-kids-soccer-equipment#post-2700128 Mon, 20 Feb 2017 13:15:30 +0000 alphagam84 2700128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You really don't need much. Just cleats, shin guards, and soccer socks. She can just wear normal athletic shorts and shirts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-kids-soccer-equipment#post-2700119 Mon, 20 Feb 2017 12:58:52 +0000 kiddosc 2700119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did the Dick's package also. They had a choice between Umbro or Adidas. We did Adidas because he liked the colors better. Then, we just had to buy soccer socks. </p> <p>Also, I don't know how familiar you are with soccer, but there are different sized balls. (I had no idea) Find out what size ball her league uses so she's practicing with the right size. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-kids-soccer-equipment#post-2700041 Mon, 20 Feb 2017 10:58:01 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 2700041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just did this a couple days ago at Dick's. They had a package deal -- ball, shinguards and cleats for something like $35, which I thought was pretty good. It was for Umbro brand and I'm sure it will be fine -- not gonna be picky for a 5-year-old! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-kids-soccer-equipment#post-2699991 Mon, 20 Feb 2017 08:31:08 +0000 sungirl 2699991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure if you have a Once Upon A Child by you but we just got cleats and shin guards for DS there this weekend. Most of the stuff was in like new condition. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-kids-soccer-equipment#post-2699988 Mon, 20 Feb 2017 08:12:46 +0000 threeplusme 2699988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure where you are but this past fall we got out ours at Dick's sporting goods. They had a package where if you bought cleats and shinguards you got a ball for free. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-kids-soccer-equipment#post-2699953 Sun, 19 Feb 2017 22:13:25 +0000 ShootingStar 2699953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She will need cleats (soccer specific, no metal spikes), shin guards, and soccer socks. I always wore a short pair of regular socks under my shin guards, then soccer socks go over them. Make sure her cleats will fit over everything. And cleats should be snug, not big. </p> <p>When I was a kid everyone wore umbro soccer shorts, not sure if they're still a thing. But they were lightweight and kinda slippery. Good for running I guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-kids-soccer-equipment#post-2699946 Sun, 19 Feb 2017 22:03:49 +0000 Finfan 2699946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are going to be starting soccer for DD1 in April. I want to start looking at equipment now as I've never played the sport and have no idea what she will need. She's 4.5 and we will need it all- cleats, shin guards, socks, shorts, etc. </p>
