Keep the kid protected with adequately-sized shinguards

For those who have a child who's thinking about playing soccer, you're probably at a loss for the amount of equipment out there you need to buy. Jerseys of his or her favorite player, an entire ballbag full of soccer balls chaussure de foot magista, top-of-the-line cleats, and so much more. But do you really need to buy all of this equipment?
 No- you do not.
 Like a player, ref, coach, and trainer, I understand a thing or two about the game. And that i can tell you there are only three key pieces of kids soccer equipment that you'll need for your little soccer tot. And they are all pictured right!
 Cleats
 Yes, your little soccer tot will certainly need cleats. There is an essential distinction I have to make between cleats and soccer cleats: ensure that you purchase your child soccer-specific cleats. As a referee, we were expected to not let any player with baseball cleats to the field because baseball cleats have an extra stud right at the very top near the toes that soccer cleats don't have. This extra stud can perform serious damage, not just to other players but for your own child too. Despite the fact that kids' knees are more rubber than tendon and bone in a early age, planting and twisting on that stud can still create a serious knee injury. And a knee injury in a young age may potentially convey more serious consequences.
 For a youth soccer player, you don't need any fancy cleats.A simple pair of Nikes can get the task done. They're simple looking and I've always preferred Nike cleats, since I have narrower feet. If your little one has wider feet, try Pumas, which tend to be just a little wider. Either way, don't save money than $30-40 on the set of cleats for your child, the standard isn't there.
 Balls
 And you will notice I made that plural. As a parent of a soccer player, it's your responsibility that the child brings a ball with him/her to every practice and each game. As a trainer, I have a policy that if someone turns up to practice without a ball, they run laps. Soccer balls are remarkably simple to lose, no matter how much permanent marker you scribble your child's name with. Knowing that, it is important that whenever starting out, you purchase a minimum of 3 soccer balls for your child: one for practice, one for home use (beyond course!), and one game-ball that is a little nicer compared to other two. My website has recommendations for soccer balls, including some rather colorful options that will surely make your child's ball stand out from the pack.
 Shinguards
 The only real bit of padding in soccer, shinguards are absolutely, 100% required equipment for any soccer player at all ages. Like a referee, the first rule you learn isn't any shinguards, no play.
 Now, there are a lot of shinguards nuove scarpe da calcio available and most a few factors to consider. First there's size: make sure that the shinguard actually covers your child's shin. I've used many guys that have the dinky shinguards that barely rise above their ankles, so that as an opposing player, their uncovered shins were my first target. Keep the kid protected with adequately-sized shinguards.
 However, I highly recommend avoiding shinguards with ankeguards. Biggest reason is the fact that they're ineffective. If your little one requires a slide tackle towards the ankle (which he/she shouldn't until a minimum of age 12), a quarter-inch of cheap fabric isn't going to stop an injury. Second, they're horribly uncomfortable. They rub upon your skin, chafing away and drying out your skin beneath the padding. In this regard, they wind up doing more harm then good! And third, they usually cost more than regular shinguards.
 So what remains for you to buy? Stay with regular shinguards that are simple and don't have ankle guards. They're usually on Amazon or from Modell's as well for $10-15 max.
 That's it for the time being; hopefully you've more of a handle on which kids soccer equipment is really necessary and what's only for show.
