Uniform sizes are selected during online registration and those sizes will be ordered. Samples are available for sizing at Mac’s Soccer Shack. Re-orders due to incorrect size will be at the parents' expense.

* 2 years is based on a player remaining in the MTsc United REC program for 4 consecutive seasons beginning as a U5, U7, U9 or U11 player thus a RETURNING player.
