Junior football clearance

Kids' jerseys from clubs and national teams

The kids' jersey features the same design as the professional jerseys but in a supporter version tailored for young body types. It includes home, away, or third kits from top clubs, from Real Madrid to PSG, from OM to OL, from Bayern Munich to FC Barcelona, as well as those from national teams, including Argentina, Morocco, Spain, and Portugal. The breathable polyester fabric wicks away sweat during matches, and the badge is either heat-sealed or embroidered, depending on the models. The home kit for kids from Real Madrid comes with matching shorts for a complete outfit in the club's colours.

What size jersey for a child

Kids' sizes from manufacturers are often given in centimetres of height: 128 for a child aged seven to eight, 140 for nine to ten years, 152 for eleven to twelve years, 164 for thirteen to fourteen years, and 176 for the taller ones. Measuring the child standing, barefoot, is more reliable than relying on age. A jersey should be chosen in the child's size or one size up to last for another season; however, shorts or jackets should fit perfectly to avoid hindering movement. The printing is applied hot and matches the jersey size: letters and numbers are smaller on a kids' model.

Goalkeeper gloves for young keepers

A young goalkeeper needs gloves that fit their hands. The size is measured around the palm, under the fingers, and generally ranges from four to seven for children. The models with finger support, like the Reusch Attrakt Freegel Gold X Finger Support kids' gloves, have stays in the fingers to limit bending on a hard shot, which is reassuring for younger players. The adhering latex palm wears down on synthetic pitches: rinse it with lukewarm water after every session, without scrubbing. Reusch, which started in 1934 in Metzingen, designed one of the first modern goalkeeper gloves with Sepp Maier in 1973.

Shorts, socks, and jackets for training

For training, teamwear complements the jerseys. The short Joma Glasgow, lightweight with an elastic waistband, comes in various colours to match the club's colours. The club socks, knee-high and reinforced, hold the mandatory shin guards in place during matches and stay up on the calf with their ribbed top, without slipping during running. The waterproof adidas Entrada jacket, lightweight, keeps the rain and wind at bay while warming up in winter. The Joma Eco Supernova jersey, made from recycled polyester, serves as training or matchwear for an entire group of young players, from the smallest to the teenagers.

Frequently asked questions

What football shoes for a beginner child?

Moulded, short, and numerous studs are suitable for synthetic pitches and the dry grass of football schools. A classic lacing secures the foot better than a laceless model, which is often too loose on a child's foot.

Are shin guards mandatory for young players?

Yes, the rules of the game make them compulsory for all players, including children, from the first official match. They should be chosen based on the length of the shin, from the ankle to below the knee, and must be completely covered by the socks.

How to wash a printed football jersey?

Turn it inside out, wash it at 30 degrees without fabric softener, and never tumble dry it. The printing should not be ironed: if necessary, iron the reverse side at low temperature, avoiding the letters and numbers.

What is the difference between home, away, and third jerseys?

The home jersey features the club's historical colours, worn in their stadium. The away jersey prevents mix-ups with opponents while on the road, and the third is used when the first two are too close to the opponent's colours.

Is a long-sleeved jersey necessary in winter?

For matches in very cold weather, a long-sleeved jersey or a thermal undershirt under the short-sleeved jersey keeps the arms warm. Young players can get cold quickly during stoppages and half-time.
