Uniform / Kit Tips

Those of you that have played on Randall’s Island before in November know very well that it is cold and the ground can be rough!

We highly recommend all players wear leggings/tights and bring a spare, warm, dry kit. Each team should also bring its own antiseptic wipes and/or spray. Please DRESS WARM & IN LAYERS. As of right now, the weather shows 50% chance of rain as well so it’s best to be prepared.
