Check the tournament schedule and registration or check-in details first. Pack two uniform tops, two uniform bottoms, sport-specific shoes or cleats, extra socks, and the equipment bag together.

Common mistakes
Do not pack only one uniform when two are listed for a weekend tournament. Avoid assuming a pop-up canopy is allowed; bring it only if permitted. Keep rain ponchos, towels, sunscreen, the first-aid kit, and hand sanitizer easy to reach instead of under chairs. For an injury or medical concern, follow venue procedures and seek appropriate care.
