A good set of runners is recommended for each participant. Outdoor cleats can be used during the outdoor season. Outdoor cleats are NOT allowed on the surfaces at the LRC.
U9 - U19
Each player is issued with a home and away jersey for the duration of the season. A jersey deposit of $75 is needed prior to the player receiving their jerseys. A posted dated cheque made out for the end of the season (July 15 for Outdoor or March 15 for Indoor) to Leduc Soccer Association must be handed into the Team Official. Once the jerseys have been collected at the end of the season and are still in a wearable condition the deposit cheque will be destroyed. Should the jersey be returned in an unwearable condition due to rips, torn or unacceptable stains, the jersey deposit cheque will be deposited. Shorts and socks are provided by Leduc Soccer to all participants.

CLEATS - Cleats are recommended for all U9-U19 participants for the Outdoor season. Indoor soccer shoes are recommended for the Indoor season. Please note that outdoor cleats are NOT allowed on the surface at the LRC or in some venues where games are played. If in doubt, please discuss with your coach or appropriate LSA Director.
