Uniforms and Equipment
Kindergarten/1st Grade Clinic
Players receive a performance tee uniform top on the first day of the program. Please plan for your child to wear black shorts, shin guards, and cleats, and to bring a size 3 soccer ball and a water bottle. All items are available locally at the Marblehead Sport Shop.
Intramural Program
Players will purchase a team-specific jersey from the Marblehead Sport Shop. Coaches will provide guidance on the appropriate shorts and socks.
Travel Program
Travel uniforms can be ordered directly through the Marblehead Sport Shop. These uniforms are designed to last for multiple seasons, so families can expect their player to wear the kit for at least a couple of years (or until they outgrow it). See our Uniforms – FAQ section for answers to common questions.

Uniforms and Equipment FAQ
Q: Why is MYSA changing uniforms?
A: Major suppliers typically change uniform designs every three to four years. Our previous Joma uniform has now been discontinued. In response to player & parent feedback about the fit, comfort, and style preferences, we have selected a lightweight, high quality fabric that is customizable, which is appealing to youth athletes and offers a professional look. We have also added an alternate white jersey, by popular request.
Q: What is the required uniform?
A: The required uniform is a numbered red jersey, a numbered white jersey, black shorts and red socks. A separate goalkeeper kit is also available, but not required. Uniforms can be ordered and purchased through the Marblehead Sport Shop, and we encourage everyone to order early, as these sublimated uniforms take longer to customize and ship. Pay attention to ordering deadlines, as they are communicated!
Q: Which players are required to wear the new uniform?
A: All players in Travel soccer (generally, grades 4 through 8) are required to wear the uniform. HS-aged teams (Spring season only) may wear the uniform or make other arrangements. ALL INTRAMURAL AND CLINIC PLAYERS WILL BE WEARING JERSEYS SPECIFIC TO THEIR LEAGUES/TEAMS, and are not required to purchase this kit.
Q: Can my player just wear their own favorite shorts?
A: No, the full kit is required. Coaches and referees will enforce the uniform requirements.
Q: I just replaced my player’s uniform last year after it wore out. Why do I need to buy another?
A: We appreciate any expense that a family makes in support of a child’s athletic endeavors. MYSA has worked diligently to keep registration fees affordable over the years, knowing that families will occasionally need to purchase uniforms, shin guards and a ball. As a result, our registration fees are roughly half of the price of other sports programs in town. We do not want anyone missing out on the fun of soccer because of cost, so MYSA can help any families that need assistance financially with their uniform, just reach out directly to one of the leadership team.
Q: Do Clinic players need to wear the new uniform?
A: No, Clinic players (grades K and 1) receive a training jersey to wear, and can wear black shorts of their own choosing.
Q: Are you providing players with the opportunity to try on the uniform for sizing?
A: Yes, the Marblehead Sports Shop takes care of sizing and numbering, and has sample sizes available for try-ons before each season.
Q: How do I order the uniform?
A: Uniforms can be ordered through the Marblehead Sport Shop.
Q: Can I select my own uniform number?
A: Maybe. The Marblehead Sport Shop does take requests for number preferences at the time orders are placed, but has to take care that there are no duplicate numbers on any team. There are only 99 available numbers, and many more athletes playing in MYSA each season.
Q: How long will it take for my kit to arrive?
A: Orders can take up to 8 weeks to be fulfilled.
