Raiders Uniform and Game Day Prep

Our kit consists of Diadora’s Valido jersey shorts and solid black socks (any make).  The shorts are black with white trim.  Our main jersey color is Mahwah Blue.  Our conflict jersey is white.  We do not train in our uniforms.

Players shall arrive no later than 45 minutes prior to game time (schedule times are kickoff times; we will need warm-up and player checking with the referees prior to kickoff).  The coach or Team Manager will arrive at the field 60 minutes prior to game time.

Players shall bring a gear bag or backpack to all training and games and are responsible for their own gear.  They shall take home or throw away whatever they bring to the field--nothing should remain behind (for Coaches or Manager to pick up).

Players shall bring to all games both jerseys (blue and white), black shorts, solid black socks high enough to cover the shin guards, shin guards that cover a substantial portion of the player’s lower leg (a few referees appear to frown on very small shin guards), and suitable cleats (or indoor flats if we are playing indoors).

In addition, players should bring water and a sports drink.  Water is better, particularly during games.  Player should drink beforehand, as well.

For tournaments, players should bring extra socks, a second pair of cleats--if you have them, and a change of shirt.  Energy bars are good; consuming pizza or burgers at the tournament, before games, is bad.

If you have removeable studs, you should bring extras and a wrench, to make repairs if necessary.  Packing extra laces in your gear bag is not a bad idea, either.

The coach will have a medical bag for first aid at all games, as well as a spare uniform and shin guards.

A day or two prior to games, players should eat more "good" complex carbohydrates (like, pasta) and less fat and protein.  Good nutrition will enhance game day performance.   Pregame meals (day of the game) should be light.
