Uniforms & Equipment
The Norwalk Soccer Club Board has an agreement with The Norwalk Shop as our official supplier of uniforms. Online ordering is available. You can also stop into The Norwalk Shop to try on the uniform before purchasing. Visit the NSC Store and scroll down to Uniforms to place your uniform order. Players are allowed to choose their own #. For 11U and older players, duplicate numbers are discouraged. Tape can by used over/in addition to the numbers in lieu of new uniforms. Please note having a duplicate number in a game could result in the referee refusing to allow a player to participate. Also, duplicate numbers can cause issues when referees record yellow or red cards during a match.
Shinguards are mandatory for practices and games. Cleats are not required but encouraged.
Balls: We ask that your player bring a pumped up ball to every practice. Soccer balls can be purchased at Soccer Master or most sporting goods stores.
Proper ball size:
7U/8U: Size 3
9U - 12U: Size 4
13U and up: Size 5

Referees
The shortage and the system. Please read this article that helps explain why your team may not have had a referee for a game last season.
We need more referees! NSC Board agreed to some increases in the pay scale. This is a great, fun way for teenagers and adults to make some extra money. Go to http://www.iowasoccer.org/become_a_referee/
