The majority of our club's match officials are players themselves. We strive to provide an inclusive, respectful, and welcoming environment for them to thrive in. Please help our club provide such an environment by adhering to the regulations above.

THE INGERSOLL SOCCER CLUB IS A BULLY AND HARASSMENT-FREE ZONE.

All players will receive shorts, socks, and a team shirt with a number that must be worn to all sessions and games. We do not provide cleats or shin guards (if you are in need of cleats, please email rickjaness@yahoo.ca).

We ask our coaches to help our referees spot issues with players' uniforms to help ensure safety on the field.

OTHER SAFETY NOTES:

• Shin guards are required to be under the player's socks.
• Jewelry, including watches, fitness trackers, piercings, rings, necklaces, anklets, and any other items, cannot be worn during the game due to safety guidelines. Referees will enforce this rule. Jewelry cannot be taped and must be removed before the game.
• We also do not allow casts (soft or hard) on the field - if your child has a preexisting injury please speak to your coach, the referee, or email registrar@ingersollsoccerclub.com.
