Game uniforms should never be worn at practice
Practice t-shirts must be tucked in at all times. Soccer bags should be lined up neatly at the sidelines.

PreGame All players should arrive to a game wearing the same colors: their pregame jersey, game shorts, and game socks. Shirts must be tucked in at all times.
Following warm-up, players change to their Game Jersey 5 minutes prior to game kick-off. All players should have both game uniform sets and their practice T-shirts with them, along with their soccer bags, soccer balls, and water or sports drinks. Soccer bags should be lined up neatly on the sidelines.
Goalkeeper Game Uniform: for all season games and tournaments:
Goalkeeper PreGame: Goalies should arrive wearing their pre-game jersey and black game shorts. Following warm up, Goalies change to their game jersey 5 minutes prior to game kick-off.
Alternatively, Goalies can elect to arrive wearing their goalkeeper attire (jersey and shorts/pants). Goalies may elect whether or not to tuck in their practice t-shirt during practice, or goalkeeper jersey during game play, while playing as goalkeeper. Goalies that also have time in games as a field player, must change to the same uniform as their field players.
Attire After or In-between Games:
After the completion of a season game, or in between season tournament and invitational tournament games, players (including goalies) must change from their game jersey to their practice t-shirt. Being shirtless or wearing only a sports bra is not allowed. This applies while at the fields or while out in public.
In no
event should any other shirt or shorts/pants/skirts be worn with OKT game
uniforms at any time.
Cold weather
gear:
Nike sweat suit should be worn to all games/tournaments when the weather allows
it and uniformly by all players. For pre-game warm-up, if one or more players
are not wearing their cold weather gear, then no player can wear their cold
weather gear. Note: if over heating or getting too cold is a problem, then
common sense and safety should be followed. Black head bands/ear warmers and
black leggings may be worn during cold weather.
No hats
are allowed at any time.
Personal Wear:
The following items are considered personal wear items and not required to be
Nike branded:
