Cold Weather Clothing Policy

This policy applies only to Oregon SC Competitive and Academy teams.

Allowed at all times

  • Gloves, preferably black
  • Headbands, preferably black
  • Leggings/tights (under shorts during games), preferably black
  • Sweatshirts/base layers (under jersey during games, no hoods)

Allowed during practices and game warm-ups

  • All the above, plus
  • Stocking hats
  • Warm-up pants
  • Coats/jackets

Allowed while on the bench during games

  • All the above, plus
  • Scarves
  • Earmuffs
  • Handwarmers
  • Blankets

Many of these policies were established with player safety in mind - for example, scarves and sweatshirts with hoods could be pulled, and hats could slip down over players' eyes and impact their vision.

We would like players to focus on playing the game while they are on the field during matches, and we feel that these policies create a balance between that objective and still making sure that players are warm enough on cold days.
