It’s crucial to stay hydrated throughout the event and drink plenty of water!
4. Comfortable Shoes
While your cleats are necessary for games, bring a pair of comfortable shoes for off-field activities! You don’t want to be the kid that has to wear your cleats all day when visiting all the activities Target USA CUP has to offer, such as the famous Target Activation Zones, across our 600-acre campus! After a game, swap out your cleats for something more breathable.
5. Plastic Bag
Minnesota weather can be very unpredictable. One minute it will be sunny, the next minute it’ll be pouring rain, so, it’s best to have a plastic bag in case it rains to throw your wet gear and clothes in. Additionally, having an extra set of dry clothes is a smart move in case you need to change after being caught in the rain.
