Getting Started as a women's soccer player-it starts with the foot. You need to get good cleats and then tough shin guards, and a ball that will withstand your pounding. Cleats- Avoid getting softball cleats, which have an extra nub directly under the toes. To avoid buying soccer cleats, turn the cleat over and look directly below where your toes would be, and mentally mark off the middle. Then look to see if there is a cleat, or stub in that area. If so, it is a softball cleat: soccer cleats will not have a cleat in that area. Then, look for good padding inside and waterproof outside. Adidas®,Nike®, Didora®, Baden®, Brine®, Fila®, Puma®, Reebok are top soccer cleats. Shin guards- My son and I like Nike® Tiempo Shield or Tiempo Pro Shinguards. Soccer Pro has a women's soccer gear section and shin guards designed specifically to fit female soccer players. Soccer Ball- The top brands make so many different models and colors every year, so check them out yourself. Top brands we like are Adidas®, Nike®, Diadora®, Fila,® Puma®, Baden®, Umbro® and Xara®. Remember, get the right size for your needs, or child's age. If you are unsure, this website, Soccer balls explained, will instruct you tyoes and sizes, including how to buy. Practice Gear- Soccer shorts need to be large in the leg, and tend to be nylon or dri-weave type material instead of cotton. Sweats- Look for feet with zippers to get on and off over cleats. Waterproof and light weight is also good. Scrimmage Vests- Reversible scrimmage vests come in handy. Check for minimum orders and ask if you need lettering or numbering.
