wind up doing more damage then good

If you have a child who's thinking about playing soccer crampon mercurial, you're probably overwhelmed by the quantity of equipment available that you need to buy. Jerseys of his or her favorite player, an entire ballbag full of soccer balls, top-of-the-line cleats, and so much more. But do you really need to purchase all this equipment?
 No- you don't.
 As a player, ref, coach, and trainer, I know a few things about the game. And that i let you know that there are only three key pieces of kids soccer equipment that you'll need for your little soccer tot. And they're all pictured right!

 Cleats
 Yes, your little soccer tot will definitely need cleats. Now there is an important distinction I need to make between cleats and soccer cleats: make sure that you purchase your child soccer-specific cleats. As a referee, we were instructed to not let any player with baseball cleats to the field because baseball cleats have an extra stud right at the top near the toes that soccer cleats don't have. This extra stud can perform serious damage, not just to other players but for your own child as well. Despite the fact that kids' knees are more rubber than tendon and bone in a young age, planting and twisting with that stud can continue to create a serious knee injury. Along with a knee injury in a young age may potentially have more serious consequences.
 For any youth soccer player, you don't need any fancy cleats.An easy set of Nikes will get the task done. They're simple looking and i have always preferred Nike cleats, since i have have narrower feet. If your child has wider feet, try Pumas, which tend to be a little wider. In either case, don't save money than $30-40 on the pair of cleats for the child, the quality simply isn't there.

 Balls
 And you will notice I made that plural. As a parent of the soccer player, it is your responsibility that your child brings a ball with him/her to every practice and every game. Like a trainer, I've got a policy when someone shows up to practice without a ball, they run laps. Soccer balls are remarkably easy to lose, no matter how much permanent marker you scribble your child's name with. Knowing that, it is important that when getting started, you purchase at least 3 soccer balls for your child: one for practice, one for home use (outside of course!), and something game-ball that's a little nicer than the other two. My site has suggestions for soccer balls, including some rather colorful options which will surely make your child's ball stand out from the pack.

 Shinguards
 The only bit of padding in soccer, shinguards are absolutely, 100% required equipment for just about any soccer player at all ages. Like a referee, the very first rule you learn isn't any shinguards, no play.
 Now, there are a lot of shinguards out there and more than a few things to consider. First there's size: ensure that the shinguard actually covers your child's shin. I've used many guys which have the dinky shinguards that barely go above their ankles, and as a defender, their uncovered shins were my first target. Keep your kid protected with adequately-sized shinguards.
 However, I highly recommend avoiding shinguards with ankeguards. Biggest reason is that they're ineffective. If your child takes a slide tackle towards the ankle (which he/she shouldn't until at least age 12), a quarter-inch of cheap fabric isn't going to stop an injury. Second, they're horribly uncomfortable. They rub against your skin, chafing away and becoming dry the skin beneath the padding. In this regard, they wind up doing more damage then good! And third, they usually cost more than regular shinguards chaussure de foot pas cher.
 So what remains that you should buy? Stick to regular shinguards which are easy and do not have ankle guards. They normally are available on Amazon or from Modell's as well for $10-15 max.
 There you have it for the time being; hopefully you've more of a handle on what kids soccer devices are really necessary and what's just for show.
