We went to the Sports Exchange in Mesa and told the person that this was our son's first time playing tackle football and we needed gear. He asked what team and from there took over fitting our son with the necessities. He was GREAT! He knew exactly what was needed for the minimum requirements. He also stated that we should wait on the pants, socks and jersey because he believes that we will receive a voucher, which we will then bring back to get those items. We felt very grateful for this person's help and knowledge and would definitely recommend going to the Sports Exchange! For all the new tackle football parents, I hope your experience goes as smoothly! It could have been a little overwhelming otherwise.
