Football EquipmentFootball EquipmentDeciding the proper protection for football players is both challenging and important. When playing football, as with any contact sport, injury is always a possibility. Choosing the best safety football equipment with the proper fit can prevent or lessen the severity of injuries, but never prevent them completely. You can further protect yourself with a variety of padding; some designed more for specific positions and some to help injured players protect sensitive areas. Football Shoulder PadsFootball shoulder pads are one of the more crucial pieces of football padding, and are required at all levels. Football shoulder pads are designed to conform to the unique requirements of each position. Positions that require more range of motion have lighter, less restrictive padding, while positions that engage in more contact will have heavier pads. Whichever type you need, they can be found in youth and adult sizes. Other available features such as hookups and breathability all play a role in deciding the right set of football shoulder pads. FootballsTo ensure proper grip for throwing and catching, the size of the football should be proportionate to the size of the athlete. There are two types of full-sized balls. The largest, the Pro ball, is used by professional football players. College and high school players use the slightly smaller collegiate ball. High school footballs must meet NFHS specifications. Youth footballs are sized for 6-14 year olds (Youth, Junior and Pee Wee). Weighted training footballs can be used for building arm strength and improving grip strength.
