Yes there is a GK kit too. Your kiddo can pick which color they want. Don't forget to also get the practice uniform.

Yes. Are you not seeing it on Capelli? DS was wrongly assigned a field player kit to order and had to reach back out to the club to get it corrected. He said the individual he dealt with at Herndon was very helpful and responsive.

Does Herndon have a designated uniform for goalkeepers?

It’ll automatically add the “mandatory” stuff to your cart but before you check out you should be able to remove backpack. I’ve done it for the last 2 years. The backs are awful and the boys don’t need a new one every 2 years

Can you call Capelli and have the backpack removed from the order?

Unfortunately I can't pick a la cart in the Capelli site. It's all or nothing. Not sure what players who need to get just a jersey or shorts have to do? Paying $50+ for that bag feels scam like

I would hope that returning players don’t have to buy a new backpack just because a new uniform kit will be used. We are new and bought the bag because our child’s current bag has their old club logo on it and old number. It looked like in the team store that they can set up different items to be purchased for new versus returning players. Hopefully next year the backpack is not part of the items if you’re returning.

I was able to remove the backpack from the cart before I checked out last year

Yup, that's their MO

Because it is all about money... (it was never about the kids).

Fake news I guess.
My other child plays for another club and we have had info for next year since May. Rosters, fall tournaments, etc.
