sports thermal (top and bottom)
soccer socks
standard kit
wool hat and gloves.

We play this weekend at like 8am so its going to be like 27 degrees..was thinking if another layer might be needed when playing.


In addition to sports thermal top, my DD also wore a turtle neck top then her soccer jersey. If there’s wind, I would put some Vaseline on her face too.


Interesting. So vaseline on cheeks and lips or all over?

Also for foot warmers does it go on the top or bottom of foot?


Vaseline on any exposed skin (nose, cheeks, etc.)

Hot hands makes a shoe sole insert. For crazy cold weather, we've had a lot of success with those.

Toss a foot warmer in the boot if you have space!

There are no special soccer socks for cold.
Wear a hat and gloves to reduce heat loss.

Wool is always best, but be careful when you wash wool - ideally, wash on cold and lay out to air-dry to prevent shrinkage.

I find that the smart wool socks slide around too much in the cleat. My son doesn't like them but definitely give them a try. Also, I don't know why but very few of the kids I see wear shin guards to practice anymore.

Typically, I go for the ones that cover the feet and calves but allow enough room for shin guards.
But that's me...
