Sessions (Game days) for this group are set up in 1-hr slots, with @ 25-30 min for warm-up and simple drills, and @ 25-30 min for 5v5 scrimmages on a small field with small goals. Games can be scheduled any time between 10a-5pm; scheduled will likely be posted @ mid March. Players in this group are required to have shin guards with socks that cover them. You will need to purchase the red and blue EWPAL shirts but can use them for as many seasons as until new ones are needed. We have the option to purchase a ball from us or you can bring your own.  Soccer cleats are not required, any type of tennis shoe or running shoe that covers the foot and is secured (no flip flops, etc) is fine; although if your child is the type to notice you might consider buying them, as many parents do. Whatever type of pants or shorts your child is comfortable running in is acceptable.
