Highschool Football Pads?

Question

My shoulder pads are way to big for me. I am a freshan and the entire freshamn teams seems to get oversized pads. is this going to seriously affect my hitting ability because it seems like i will not be able to hit as hard. Should i ask for smaller pads. Sorr i wish i had pics but just trust me, THEY ARE HUGE. Easily over 4 inches broader than my shoulders and very high.

Answer 1

yeah freshman always get screwed with pads so its just something you have to live with, you can always try to trade with someone in the locker room.

Answer 2

smaller pads are bad because if u get ones too small, they are worse then ones that are too big

Answer 3

you sometimes get pads like that but trust me if you could hit that wont stop you just play with what you got and dont ask for smaller ones trust me..
