Do I Need to Buy New Uniforms Each Year?
Most likely not if the old one fits and is in good shape. The team is on a schedule to rotate uniforms every 2 to 3 years, but typically the changes are so minimal you can still use the old one without any issues.
What is the Cost of Uniforms?
Each coach is given some leeway on deciding what uniform items are required, but the base kit includes two jerseys (different colors), shorts and two pairs of socks (different colors) and runs less than $100. Parents may want to order additional uniforms for cold weather or to have an extra set for tournaments or weekends that have multiple games. You will receive an email with more details from the uniform coordinator and from your coach.
How Do I Order Uniforms?
Before the start of the season and once all the teams are settled you should get an email from the uniform coordinator with information about how to order uniforms. In it you will find information about the basic required items and a link to where to order them. The club currently uses soccer.com. When you click on the link and sign in/register you will be taken to the club’s page. Select your players team and his name. All player numbers are preassigned by Sumter Soccer Club. Be sure to talk with your coach before ordering to make sure you order everything that is needed.

Are the Cost of Uniforms Included in My Fees?

Can I Choose My Players Number? How Are Numbers Assigned?
No. All player numbers are assigned by Sumter Soccer Club. The uniform coordinator keeps up with a list of all the number for all the teams in the club. Since we are a small club and it is not unusual for players to player pass and play on other teams ensure there are no duplicate numbers on teams that are two or less age groups higher or lower than any player. Returning players will remain the same number they had the previous season of play.
