cleats for 4 year olds?

DD has her first soccer game tomorrow and the info we were given said that she should wear cleats.  I played soccer my whole life so I know what's involved and I kinda think cleats for kids that young are unneccesary.  I'm just wondering if any of your kids are playing soccer and wear cleats.  Thanks!!

    Yup and every year since then (8 years). It's been a lot of cleats. :)

    If you have a Play it Again Sports, its a great place to get cleats for little ones.

    When DD played in kindergarten, they had to have cleats, but I agree it was a little silly for kids that young.  The consignment shop where I used to sell clothes did a great business in soccer cleats!

    If you have a Once Upon a Child, I'd check there too. That's where I get Caleb's cleats from.

    cleats were optional for our u4 league.

    I agree - totally unnecessary.

     

    Our IF journey: 1 m/c, 1 IVF with only 3 eggs retrieved yielding Dylan and a lost twin, 1 shocker unmedicated BFP resulting in Jace, 3 more unmedicated pregnancies ending in more losses.
    Total score: 6 pregnancies, 5 losses, 2 amazing blessings that I'm thankful for every single day.

    My 6 year old plays (just turned 6) and the main reason for cleats for him is if the grass is wet they'll slip and fall easier. They play at 9 am so there is still definitely dew on the grass still.

    FWIW, his cleats are not spiky at all. They are just flat bumps all over the bottom of the shoe.
