These are guidelines to what your child will need to play soccer. There may be additional items you are asked to get by your coach.

*Every child is required to wear shin guards, socks must completely cover shin guards.

*Soccer shoes with rubber cleats and no cleat at the toe (those are baseball cleats). U6 is not required to wear cleats but it is encourage for slippery damp grass in the mornings.

*Soccer shorts-black is generally accepted b/c it goes with every shirt color, your coach may want a different color but black can still be used for practices.

*Game shirt will come from your coach, they will place an order once the team sizes are confirmed by each player.

*Each player needs their own ball.

*Each player needs to bring a water bottle to each practice and game with WATER in them. Save the sports drinks for after the game.

*No jewelry should be worn during practices or games. (FIFA Rules)

How old does my child need to be before he can play?

*Your child must turn 4 by July 31 to play in the Fall season.

*Your child must turn 4 by December 31 to play in the Spring season. 

How will I know my child is selected for a team?

*You will get a phone call from your coach after our draft is completed and the coaches clinic has been done. There may be a delay if there are more kids than can be drafted and we have to build more teams which means we will need to find an additional coach.

When and where are games played?

*Games are played at Faulkner Park which is located North of Lindale on Hwy. 69.

*Most games are played on Saturdays, very rarely will we schedule a game on a week night.

*Some of our older divisions play in other places if we don't have enough teams to play here in Lindale.

Are the teams formed by gender or co-ed?

*Our recreational league is co-ed. We try to form teams by gender once they reach U14 b/c they will play gender pure teams in Tyler.

When do the seasons start?

The dates are set by the Soccer Board of Directors who do their best to work around all the sporting activities in Lindale. Fall season usually starts around the end of August. The Spring season usually starts around the beginning of March.
