Coaches and Training

KickzSoccer Trainers will be assigned to train and coach each session.

Required Equipment

Shin guards and cleats are mandatory for all players (baseball and football cleats with a toe spike are not allowed). Our Pre-K and K age groups are allowed to wear sneakers, but cleats are preferred.

Jewelry is never permitted during any of the play sessions. Starter earrings must also be removed.

Commitment Level

The recreation level program players are expected to participate in a majority of the games and practices. Team rosters are right-sized to maximize playing time; as a result, non-attendance will have an impact on the whole team.

Referees

We are continuing the Youth Referee program this year! We welcome local High School students in grades 9 or higher to participate. Interested candidates must be familiar with the game. There will be a mandatory training session the last week of August. We aim to have each referee work at least one game per weekend. Schedules are set each week and we offer flexibility if the refs have a commitment and cannot participate every weekend. 

This is great opportunity for the teens in our community to have leadership responsibilities and be involved with the WMSC program. Most of our refs started their soccer career in the rec program!

Whistles and yellow shirts will be provided.

Uniforms

Pre-K through 5th grade players are expected to wear a WMSC Rec uniform at their game sessions. Players are welcome to re-use their jerseys from last year as the will remain the same colors and design. Please always bring both red and blue jersey's. RED will be used for "Home" team and BLUE for "Away" team.

Players in grades Pre-K through 5th who answered 'Yes' to purchase a new uniform kit: ACTION IS REQUIRED to please place your order via our new online store through SoccerZone USA.
You'll start by navigating to their website and either creating a new account or logging in with an existing account. https://soccerzoneusa.com/account/register
