• All players should come dressed to move.
• Lil' Boots (ages 3-6): Players need their own size 3 ball and a filled water bottle. They may wear sneakers instead of cleats outdoors; we recommend shin guards at this age but do not require them. Please leave Crocs at home.
• Ages 7+: Players need their own ball of the appropriate size and a filled water bottle. Shin guards are required, as are cleats for outdoor play and sneakers or flat soccer shoes for indoor training.
• Winter Indoor Programs: The JCC of Northern Virginia no longer requires a Covid vaccination to enter the building. You may read more about the JCC's wellness policies here: https://www.thej.org/about/wellness-at-the-pozez-jcc/ . Indoor players should wear SNEAKERS or FLAT SOCCER SHOES instead of cleats, as we play on a gym floor surface.
• Day Camps: Our experienced trainers know how to help players enjoy themselves in summer weather. We utilize pavilion-style shade tents, other shaded outdoor areas, and a schedule that incorporates regular rest and water breaks. Full-day camps incorporate cooling breaks, training periods and lunch indoors in air-conditioned spaces. Full-day players should bring SNEAKERS or FLAT SOCCER SHOES in addition to cleats. Crocs and slides are comfy for downtime, but do not provide enough support for indoor training.
• Water fountains with bottle fillers are available during our winter indoor programs. Summer camps (both full-day and half-day) will have refill stations filled with ice water. There are no refill options available during weekly programs.
  

Please don't bring:

• Cough, fever, headache, body aches, sore throat, loss of smell or taste, or any other ill feeling.
• If your player is following the quarantine guidelines of another entity (CDC, school, etc.), please keep them home until they have been released by that same entity.
  

Players arriving at a camp or program and exhibiting symptoms of illness will not be allowed to participate and will be sent home. We will happily give a prorated credit for any day(s) missed due to illness -- there's no need to push your player to "just try and see how you feel."
