*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
If you really want to keep things simple, all you really need to play soccer is a ball. Even at that, in poorer countries they use whatever they can find since they don't even have a ball sometimes. It might be parts of a dead animal, or garbage. We're not quite going to get that simple, however, as we take a look at all of the essential equipment and gear you'll need to play a complete game of soccer.

Safety Gear

For starters, let's take a look at the safety equipment that's standard for a game of soccer. For starters, you'll want to have shin pads. These will protect you from getting kicked in the shin, which hurts a lot if you're not wearing guards! It also happens all the time, you'll almost certainly get kicked in the shin at least a few times during a game so make sure you have decent shin guards. Other than that, there's not a lot of safety gear for soccer since it's not a contact sport and it's played on such a large field.

Clothing and Shoes

Typically a soccer player will wear athletic shorts and a matching jersey made out of a light, breathable fabric. Soccer shoes will vary depending on whether or not you're playing inside or outside. Large socks are worm to cover up the shin pads, and that's about it except for the goalie who will typically wear a heavier shirt and gloves to project their fingers from soccer balls traveling at high speeds. Other than that, the rest of the soccer equipment we'll be looking at are some extra useful items you may want to have around.

Extra Soccer Equipment To Have

A set of four pylons can help to set up impromptu goal posts no matter where you're playing. Also, refs will want to have whistles and a red and yellow card. Coaches should also have whistles at practice because it's not always easy to get an entire team's attention.

For soccer practice, some coaches will set-up hoola-hoops to help with target practice. These help players to improve on accuracy, especially while passing. A good drill is to have players running down the field, and once they cross a certain mark, to pass the ball to the side with a lob and to have it land as close as possible to the hoola-hoop target.

Also, don't forget water bottles for each player! Staying hydrated is incredibly important no matter which sport you're playing, but especially for outdoor soccer when you're running around in the sun. Re-useable water bottles are best, and make sure you rinse them out even if they've only had water in them because bacteria can still build up after just a few days or a week.

If you're a coach, it's a good idea to have a stop watch so that you can time drills at practice. A ref will also want a timer to keep track of the amount of time that's passed in the game.

And don't forget...

Finally, don't forget a soccer ball! For higher up league play, people will spend closer to $100-$200 for a soccer ball, but for less competitive games just about any ball will do so don't stress about it too much.

Final Thoughts on Soccer Equipment

Whether you're a soccer ref, a soccer coach or a soccer player - you'll want to make sure you're equipment with everything you need in order to get the most out of your experience. Soccer is one of the most affordable sports to play in terms of equipment. It doesn't come close to the amount of stuff you need for American football, hockey, or even golf. All you need is a ball and a field, the rest is all extra - but don't forget how important shin guards are to protect yourself from getting kicked!
