Playing kits are not covered by club fees and are purchased separately.
The club has a supply of kits on site for purchase, however kits can also be purchased direct from the supplier should a size not be available.
A playing kit contains a home shirt, away shirt, shorts and socks. Your TM will advise which shirt should be worn each week, although we recommend bringing both shirts to each match.
The playing kits are mandatory wear and comply with all FV Rules and Regulations of competition.
Returning players can reuse their kits from last year, while new players purchase kits. The club will strive to provide kits with numbers not already allocated. It may that a kit has to be ordered with an unused number or we can adapt the number so there are no number duplications.
We will order in a large supply of socks as we recommend purchasing additional socks.
Club Merchandise is also available direct from the supplier (jackets, coats, tracksuits)
Shinguards are MANDATORY. We have shin guards available to buy at a low price or they can be purchased from a reputable sports store.
Football Boots must be worn at training and match day. A referee will not allow a player to participate without shinguards, club football socks or football boots,
Football boots should have plastic studs (no metal studs). Boots can be purchased from a reputable sports store. We recommend wearing the boots in for comfort, purchasing based on player comfort and keep in mind that children's feet grow extraordinarily quickly.
What to pack for a match
It is important to set good habits and encourage younger players to assist with packing the kit bag. Junior players should become responsible for ensuring they have everything they need on match days.
