Football pads help??

Question

Im playin football for my first time for my highschool freshman team. I received shoulder pads a while ago from the school and they are too big for me..I tried to get smaller ones but all the left over ones were large too. When ever I put the pads on and I put the metal hook from the back to the front, the back folds. I tried loosening the strap but it ended up still folding and being too lose on me. Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

Answer 1

Uhm tie them real tight :P . that dont work you can try to trade with someone that might have smaller ones. that dont work you need to tell your coach you can get hit hard and break some bones then out for the season and get P*ssed off
