Have children lost interest in playing football, progressed slowly in their skills, and often suffered injuries? While football brings endless joy to children, some problems often linger in the hearts of young players and parents, becoming difficult to cure. But perhaps all of this is due to insufficient preparation. Know yourself and know your enemy, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. Be well prepared before stepping onto the green field, and while enjoying the joy brought by football, you can also achieve twice the result with half the effort. Today, let's take a look at the preparation work before playing football!

Equipment

Due to various technical movements such as running, jumping, and leaping, the football field is always filled with intense physical confrontations. In order to protect players, football equipment is also diverse. Football shoes, football socks, jerseys, leg guards, etc. all have different functions, and only by fully understanding and using them reasonably can the wisdom and achievements of human sports experts over the years be fully utilized.
The feet are our main contact area in football, and the importance of football shoes is self-evident. Let's start with the most important football shoes.

1. Football shoes

With the development of the times, the era of Double Star Bowen has passed, and sneakers such as Double Star and Big Bowen that focus on cloth and rubber soles are collectively referred to as cloth shoes. Bu Di was favored by people in earlier years due to its affordable price. However, the disadvantage of the fabric sole is also prominent, as the overly soft upper material makes it difficult to protect the feet during intense competition. The joint between the sole, upper, and outsole does not have a dragon bone design, and the sole does not have dragon bone support. The strong instantaneous force during emergency stops and turns can cause serious deformation of the cloth shoes, and the feet are prone to sprains after losing stable support.
Football shoes with synthetic leather or genuine leather as the upper and TPU, nylon, carbon fiber, or rubber as the sole are collectively referred to as leather feet. After a long period of practical experience and continuous improvement, leather feet have formed a very mature design concept. While ensuring good wrapping of the feet, they provide excellent support and protection for the feet, ankles, and knees, making them the best choice for us to play football.
However, it should be noted that due to the professional design of sneakers, the studs of sneakers are also designed in different shapes according to the different conditions of the court floor to adapt to changes in the field, roughly divided into different types such as FG, HG, SG, AG, TF, IC, etc. For teenagers, the development of leg muscles is not yet complete, and joints such as knees are relatively fragile. When buying sneakers for children, it is important to choose TF or flat IC sneakers with small spikes. FG, HG, SG and other types of shoe studs are too long, and most of our training is done on short and shallow artificial turf. Long shoe studs cannot fully integrate into the grass, which can cause more pressure to be transmitted from the calf to the knee, resulting in excessive wear and tear on the knee. TF and IC shoe studs can effectively distribute pressure on the soles of the feet, thereby protecting children's knees. Of course, children over 14 years old can also choose AG nail shoes, which can provide stronger grip and better ensure the performance of technical movements. However, based on the existing football field conditions in our country, we do not recommend purchasing FG, HG, or SG nail shoes.
Genuine leather football shoes have developed into one of the most mature products on the market today, and their prices are also very low, mostly between 100-400. For parents who give their children training shoes or even plastic sandals to play soccer, I would like to say that if your child falls and sprains due to inappropriate shoes, or spends money on training but cannot achieve the training effect, then buying a suitable pair of genuine leather soccer shoes is very cost-effective. Since we have chosen to involve our children in this sport, it is our responsibility as parents to provide them with the necessary support.

2. Clothing

Children who participate in football surely have this feeling, the weather turns cold, a lot of exercise after the wet jersey stick to the body, resulting in a lot of heat loss, the body is very cold and uncomfortable. Wearing ordinary autumn trousers inside the jersey does not solve the problem, and physical exercise will also be affected by the clothing. In fact, there is a product that can effectively solve this problem, and that is the sports leggings that we often mention. We can wear such garments as bottoms inside jerseys. The polyester fibre material allows the leggings to absorb sweat and evaporate quickly, and more importantly, to fit closely to the body according to the shape of the muscles. The elasticated material provides extra contraction force for the muscles of the whole body, accelerates blood circulation, increases muscle supply, improves muscle vitality during exercise, reduces the build-up of lactic acid, and significantly reduces muscle soreness after exercise. At the same time, the extra pressure on the muscles also reduces muscle vibration, allowing one to maintain more stable technical movements during exercise. This is why when we play football in leggings we feel more powerful and explosive.

3. Socks

Socks are probably the most overlooked equipment in football, and we often see many people wearing ordinary socks or playing football barefoot or wearing sports shoes. In fact, socks are one of the essential equipment in football. Firstly, long socks allow leg guards to be inserted between the calves and socks, protecting the player's legs from injury in the event of a collision. Secondly, the soles of football socks are usually made of soft cotton to ensure that they do not slip when the feet sweat heavily during exercise. At the same time, socks wrap around the entire calf and foot, providing some support and protection for the ankle, and also assisting in the contraction of calf muscles, allowing leg muscles to burst out better. For people who often play football, not wearing socks can be as frustrating as not wearing sneakers.

4.Shin pads

Body collisions are almost an indispensable part of football, and the legs are the parts of the body that are most impacted, so leg protection is very important. Leg guards are key equipment for leg protection. Because it is related to the player's career, leg guards are one of the essential equipment for participating in regular matches. Many people say that they feel like they can't play after wearing leg guards, but this is a normal phenomenon. After wearing leg guards for 3 or 4 training games, they will gradually adapt.
Of course, there are many types of leg guards. From the appearance, there are mainly two types: large boards and small boards. Forward players usually choose small boards, which are relatively small and have less additional impact on the legs, but have relatively poor protection. Defenders and power type players usually choose the big board, which provides more protection and is more suitable for defenders who need to frequently block and tackle the ball. You can choose the appropriate leg protection board according to your own needs, but I still recommend everyone to develop the habit of wearing leg protection boards, whether it is training or competition.
The correct use of sports equipment and the development of good exercise habits are the prerequisites for us to experience the joy of sports. Football, which appears to be filled with intense physical contact, actually has very comprehensive protective measures and means. Professional players who engage in high-intensity training and competitions every day, with high-quality equipment and scientific recovery, can even reach the age of 40 or above in their careers. All of this can only be effective if we fully understand and execute it correctly. I hope every young player can develop scientific exercise habits from a young age.
