The advantage of buying locally is the instant availability of need items. Some sports stores, like Multi-Craft and All-Star Sports do carry some referee items. Others, like Sports Authority, do not except for generic items like whistles.

Buying Online
While prices can sometimes be cheaper bying online, we support purchasing locally. The reason is our support of the local supplier will ensure that he is there late Friday night before the big match Saturday.

Plan Ahead
Many options are available for purchasing uniforms. With all purchases, allow enough time before the season to purchase. At the start of spring and fall seasons is when many suppliers temporarily run out and have items on backorder.
