Soccer Equipment

• Choose A Piece Of Equipment To Get Started!

Shin Guards Soccer SocksCleats

Take The

Soccer Quiz

Shin Guards

• Shin Guards are pretty self explanatory. The simply guard and protect your shin. They help prevent

injuries, but shins still get injured if kicked really hard. They are required by players of all age during games. Most players especially older, don’t like to wear them

and lack that when they are just practicing. In my opinion, coaches need to take more control in

making sure their players are always wearing them.

Cleats

• Soccer cleats are pretty expensive the better they are, however they look awesome! For outdoor

soccer, you are required to wear cleats that have rubber stubs like you see in the picture. You aren’t

allowed to have metal cleats because it would hurt to get stepped on during gameplay. Indoor soccer cleats

are just flat on the bottom but still look cool.

Soccer Socks

• Soccer socks are what goes over your shin-guards. Some people like to tuck them under the top of the shin-guard, and others like to buy super long ones

that go all the way up to your knee. The main purpose is to help keep the shin-guard in place and make the outside soft so when you run up against

someone's skin, it doesn’t scratch them.

Football Equipment


Helmet PadsCleats

Take The

FootballQuiz

Helmet

• Football helmets are easily the most important piece of equipment, and required at all ages. Football is a very rough sport and even though head injuries still happen a lot, helmets help to limit the amount of injuries. Rules change every year now to try and

prevent concussions and even deaths. A hard helmet to helmet collision is one of the scariest things in

sports.

Cleats

• Football cleats are a lot like soccer cleats. But instead of the rubber studs at the bottom, they are more like spikes. They are about half an inch tall where soccer

cleats are more like just a centimeter. It helps you get a better grip on the grass or turf you are playing on.


Pads

• Football pads go on your shoulders and loop around your neck and the rest of your upper body. These

play a big part in tackle football because if you didn’t wear them, you would get hurt more times than not. Players also wear pads on their legs inside of pants because they are required, but aren't as noticeable

as the pads on your chest area.

Helmet Pads/GlovesSkates

Take The

HockeyQuiz

Helmet

• Hockey helmets are required for all players of all age. The left picture has a face mask in the front and right picture doesn’t. The National Hockey League players don’t have to have the face mask unless they are the goalie. All league and ages from little kids to college, are required to have the front face mask or a clear

visor.

Pads and Gloves

• Hockey pads and gloves are required by players of all age. They do this to do their best with preventing

injuries. This is another physical sport so there is lots of checks and hard hits. The gloves protect your hands from hurting after holding a stick for any

period of time. Plus a hockey puck is pretty heavy for how small it is and hurts when you get hit with it.


Skates

• Hockey skates are a lot sharper than a lot of people think. The blade at the bottom of the boot like in the picture to the right points out, is super sharp because is digs into the ice to make you skate. When you are just carrying them around, you can buy blade covers so you don’t accidently cut yourself or someone else.

or visor unless you want to?

Conclusion

Safety In Hockey

• Hockey is another dangerous sport. Make sure you wear all the required equipment and be good at skating before you try to play. If you play goalie, you have to wear even more protective gear because a puck is super hard!

Baseball Equipment


Helmet GlovesCleats

Take The

BaseballQuiz

Helmet

• Baseball helmets are required at all ages when you are up to bat or running the bases. This is to help and avoid head injuries when you get hit by the ball. The most important part of your body is your head so if you get hit with a baseball coming at a fast speed

without a helmet, you can possibly be knocked out.

Return to Baseball menu

Cleats

• Baseball cleats look a lot like soccer cleats, but the bottom of them are different. Up until high school, the spikes are rubber. Then when you get to high school and on, the spikes are metal and sharp. It

makes it easier to run on the dirt and also out in the outfield which is grass.


Gloves

• Normal gloves like the picture to the left are used when you play defense to keep the ball from hitting

you. Plus then you have to make the play. Batting gloves like the picture to the right are used by most players when they are batting. It helps to take the

sting off your hands when you hit the ball, especially in colder weather.

Conclusion

Safety In Baseball

• The number one way of getting hurt in baseball is getting by the pitch and you can’t really avoid that. Just turn and let it hit you in the back instead of arm/face. Also always wear a cup because baseball are hard and sting.
