It's soccer season and Kidzworld's got your checklist of everything you're going to need on the field this year!
Cleats 4w1e1w
Whether you're in
rec leagues or on the school team, you must have a pair of good
cleats. It is pretty hard to be out on the field scoring goals if your feet hurt or you are
sliding all over the place. When you are buying a new or used soccer cleat, you want to look for
three things: traction, comfort and breathability.
Traction - This is very important, because the grass or turf can get super slippery when it rains. You won't be able to maneuver around how you like and that will definitely affect your performance. Make sure you ask the store's employees to find you a good molded cleat. These shoes are made with molded plastic that can be used in different types of soccer fields and weather conditions. Cleats range from $40 - $200 US. Some of the more trusted brands in soccer cleats are Adidas, Diadora, Nike, Umbro and Lotto. If you buy used, make sure the plastic on the cleats is still strong and not worn out.
Comfort - Everybody has different feet injuries.
Breathability - Not letting your feet get some air is bad news. For one, you're feet will feet will thank you for giving them some air.
Shin Guards 1b6h2d
Just like a helmet in
shin guards that fit you well and are
comfortable. The kind of shin guard you need depends on what position you play. For example, you need a thicker shin guard if you are a
defender[/KWLINK]
, while forwards have lighter ones with ankle . The price of shin guards range between less than $10 US, all the way to $140 US. Some of the popular brands for shin guards include Diadora,
Brine and Puma. We don't recommend buying
used shoes, but with shin guards it's a good idea to buy second hand.
Bags 2gz2s
While you may not use it on the field, a big sports bag is a
necessity for soccer players. You need something that's going to hold your shoes, shin guards, uniform, socks, warm-ups,
water bottle, snacks, hair elastics and
great bags made by Nike, Adidas and
Puma.
