Question

Should teen boys wear a jockstrap in Tennis?

Answer 1

it depends on if its a big man...

Answer 2

highly unlikely to get hit in the jewels unless you are very uncoordinated and unlucky

i would imagine the jockstrap would only hinder movement on the court which would slow you down and it can't be comfortable

Answer 3

No need really. The chances of boys of any age being hit in the testicles is minimal especially considering you can block with the tennis racquet. Also a jockstrap may restict movement in a sport that requires the maximum flexibility and mobility possible.

Answer 4

i play tennis too, and i've never heard of that, and i don't they should.

Answer 5

ive been hit there many times

so i recommend that u get that persons reflexes up

its better to avoid getting hit then missing a ball

trust me

i got hit square in the jewels i had to forfeit the game (it was a super hard hit [i pissed off the guy by hitting lobs he couldnt reach])

Answer 6

The odds of you getting hit square in the pills are about slim to none, plus it would be very restricting to wear. I've never once heard of it.

Answer 7

I play tennis and I've never heard of boys wearing jockstraps

Answer 8

Having played tennis as teen, college course for PE in tennis and played on off in college for fun.  Always wore jockstrap just got use wearing supporters as part of routine for PE class.  Never know where the balls may fly.  Seen few times ball boys getting hit in their packages hope they were jocked and cupped.

Answer 9

I could see this being very helpful for uncoordinated slow beginners.  It's funny I've never thought about this idea before... but it could be very beneficial for some players!
