Player Uniform & Equipment Information
Again this year, we have maintained the previous regular season/registration soccer fees to remove the yearly uniform costs from the normal fees.
The goals are to lower overall costs for families in the long run as you will not need to pay each year for shirts and kit, instead only when your player grows out of what they have or moves to a new playing group (Timbits - Kincardine House League - Lake Shore League). This approach also promotes a positive environmental stewardship by not consuming and discarding new uniform kits every year, contributes to a reduced foot print, continued support our local businesses, etc.
Additionally, it will help the small group of volunteer Kincardine Minor Soccer executive board members to continue to facilitate summer soccer in Kincardine.
Please review the table below on this page, so that you can understand what is needed for the age group your player(s) fall into.
Soccer equipment is available locally at Kincardine's Home Hardware and Canadian Tire.
Official versions of the KDMSC jerseys available for purchase at Home Hardware. When buying jerseys from Home Hardware look for specific House League shirts vs. Lake Shore League shirts (ask a HH employee for assistance if needed.
Kincardine House League (KHL) and Lake Shore League (LSL) shirts are generally availably at Home Hardware starting in late April.
