Do ankle guards do anything in soccer?

Question

I am 13 and i play soccer and i lost the ankle pieces to my shin guards. Is it safe to not wear them cause i know some kids on my team don't and i know a lot of pros don't use them either.

Answer 1

it doesn't matter really if you play with them or not.

its just a little more protettion.

your shin guards don't go all the way down to cover your ankles.

but i've been playing soccer for a long time; im 17 & i havent ahad any problems playing without ankle pieces =]

no worries ! <3

Answer 2

Its ok to not wear them, I haven't worn them once since I started playin when I was a kid, sure it hurts when FOOOOSH! CRACK! THUD!  occurs, but, you'll be fine, trust me, but I recommend wearing them, especially if you are a forwarding player! Also, guard your pee-pee well, that's a very weak point, because one day, you'll need to start your family! Play safe and good luck!

Not  really. It's not like some body's going to kick you in the ankle.  You don't have to use them.
