Getting ready for the Westford Youth Soccer Association (WYSA) travel program? One of the first steps is ensuring your player has the correct Score Uniforms. This guide provides everything you need to know about travel soccer uniforms for WYSA, focusing on score uniforms from Score Sports, the official uniform provider.
Understanding WYSA Travel Soccer Score Uniforms
This information is specifically for WYSA travel soccer players in Grades 3/4, 5/6, and 7/8. If your child is in the in-town program (Grades K-2) or Rec program, you’ll purchase a reversible jersey from Soccer Stuff in Acton. High School players (Grades 9-12) also get their jerseys from Soccer Stuff.
For travel players, the score uniforms are designed to last for a two-year cycle, meaning the jersey you purchase will be used for multiple seasons. If your player is new to the travel program or needs replacement items, you can order score uniforms directly from the Score Sports website.
Purchasing Your Score Uniforms
New players in the WYSA travel program will receive an email from Score Sports with detailed instructions on how to order their score uniforms. This email will guide you through the process of selecting and purchasing the required uniform pieces. If you are a new travel player and haven’t received an email, please contact your Age Director for assistance.
All score uniforms must be ordered online through the Score Sports e-store. It’s crucial to order carefully, as WYSA does not handle returns or exchanges for incorrectly sized uniform items purchased by parents. While Score Sports may accept returns on non-customized items like shorts and socks, personalized jerseys are typically non-returnable. Therefore, accurate sizing is essential when ordering your score uniforms.
Sizing Guidelines for Score Uniforms
Soccer uniforms, including score uniforms, generally have a snug fit, differing from everyday clothing. WYSA understands that sizing can be tricky, so they offer guidelines to help parents choose the right sizes. If your player is between sizes in regular clothing, WYSA recommends selecting the larger size when ordering score uniforms.
Remember, WYSA score uniforms have a two-year lifespan. Jerseys, shorts, and socks can be reused within this cycle as long as they still fit. Consider this two-year period when deciding on the size of your player’s score uniforms.
Score Sports provides a sizing chart on their website to assist with uniform selection. When in doubt, opting for a slightly larger size than your child’s usual clothing size is generally a safe approach. Based on WYSA’s experience, the following are general size guidelines:
- Grades 3-4: Youth Large or Youth X-Large
- Grades 5-6: Youth X-Large or Adult Small
- Grades 7-8: Adult Small or Adult Medium
- High School: Adult sizes vary
These are just general recommendations. Always refer to the Score Sports sizing chart and consider your player’s street clothing size for the most accurate fit when purchasing score uniforms.
