UNIFORMS The supplied Strathdale Soccer Club playing shirts are for use on game days only. They are not to be worn at training. For the duration of the season the family is responsible for the cleaning of the shirt. Care is required when washing, please inform all families not to use bleach, iron or place in the clothes dryer. The manager will hand these out to players at the start of the season & collect on the last match of the season. This is best achieved by reminding families to bring an extra top on the last game of the season so that at the end of the game the team manager can collect all soccer shirts to wash and arrange for their return as a set. Each child’s shirt will have an iron on number on the tag. This number will be recorded against your child’s name to assist us with identifying any missing shirts at the end of the season. **MATCH DAY SHIRTS SHOULD NOT BE WORN FOR TRAINING** TEAM UNIFORMS Each child needs to supply their own shin guards, soccer boots, Strathdale socks and shorts.
