How Would You Wear Football Pads?

Question

my little cousin is on a little junior team. he had just received his pads and football pants and socks and everything he needs. the problem is i dont know how to get him to wear it and he doesnt know how to wear it either. how would you wear the thigh/knee pads? do you just slip them between the football pants and the knees/thighs and leave it there? will it move around during the game or stay there? and also, i got him some long socks, but i noticed his friends are wearing short socks. will this be a big deal or no? would the coach want everyone to match or it doesnt matter. my little cousin tells me that he wants to wear two layers of socks (wth) and he says it feels more comfortable. a long tube sock, and then another sock on top of it. is this normal? and is compression shorts okay to wear underneath the football pants?

Answer 1

well....on the inside of the pants there should be some kind of pocket where the knee pads and thigh pads should slide into...then u can take them out to wash the pads...compression shorts are great to wear...under armors are wonderful for when its hot or cold though they may be a bit pricey....and if he wants to wear 2 pairs of socks let him...if he's more comfortable he will play better and thats what u want...also...i wear short socks for practices but long tube socks...(preferably team color) on game days and scrimmages etc...hope this helps...

Answer 2

Football pants should have pockets inside the pants that the pads fit in. Yes to the bottom questions you had.

Answer 3

Pants: Flip them inside out and there should be  a small pocket for thgih pads were the thigh would be. Same with the knee pads.

Socks: I would roll down his socks because he probably wants to be like his friends. But also, sometimes the coach will want them to wear team colors for the socks.

the shorts are ok to wear they just can't be loose or else he will be uncomfortable. As for the socks, if he fells ok with 2 pairs of socks than that's fine, just remind him that his feet will get sweaty.

Good Luck and hope I helped.

Answer 4

In the football pants if you turn them inside out there should be pockets thats where the pads go. For the thigh pads make sure that the side that forms over ther thigh goes in facing the inside because remember your pants are currently inside out then the same for the knee pads and make sure the narrow part of the knee pads goes up as for the hip pads and but pad there are slits on the pants that you line up with pads and lace the belt through it may take a little getting used to but it gets easier. I dont think theres anything wrong with wearing to pairs of socks or what kinf they are it will most likely all depend on the coach. And compression shorts are fine to wear underneath. Hope this helps
