The bare minimum: you need a field, soccer ball and something to form goal posts. For a more detailed experience, you need a soccer ball, cleats, and shin guards; ankle guards are optional, your team jersey, matching team socks, and soccer shorts.

But if you are playing a game on a team, you will need: *Cleats *Shin guards *ankle guards (optional) * your jersey * Soccer socks it is optional, but wrist guards, and a mouth guard.

A back hit to the shins can really hurt you, and if it with the cleat they easily open the the skin and leave you with a big nasty cut. I speak from experience, i never ever not wear shin guards.
