Hi! My name is Glen. I want to talk a little bit about equipment for soccer. It is really not expensive to outfit a player or a team in a game but one of the things you may want to know is all players should wear shin guards inforced by the referee. Here's a nice light weight pair of shin guards that go underneath the sock. Two different kinds of shoes that are needed to play; if you are playing on hard surfaces, you want a pair of shoes like this which is a multi-cleat turf shoe. Its got a pretty low profile. If you are playing on wetter grounds or if you happen to live in a part of the world where there is nice tall green grass, you want a shoe like this that has some longer cleats to it. These are molded right here. You can also get screw in cleats that screw in have a couple of different varieties to them that really give you good traction to them in wetter weather.
