Shin Guards: What the Rules of the Game Say

Shin guards are mandatory in matches: rule four of the rules of the game includes them as part of the player's basic equipment, requires that they are made of a material providing reasonable protection, and that they are completely covered by socks. The slip-on model, like the Nike Mercurial Lite, with a thin and lightweight shell, is popular among experienced players who want to forget about their gear; it stays in place with a sleeve or a support strap like the Nike Guard Stay. The model with an integrated ankle guard from Precision also protects the ankles and stays in place on its own, making it a popular choice for younger players. The sales are well-timed to replace a split pair.

Club Backpacks: PSG, Barça and Inter

The backpack in a club's colours is worn from school to the changing room. The Academy models, with padded backs, and Heritage, with a more retro design, are available for PSG and FC Barcelona; the more compact JDI versions are designed for children. On several models, a separate shoe compartment keeps muddy boots away from clean clothing. The dutch bag from PSG or Inter Milan is almost weightless and is enough for a training session: a pair of shoes, a water bottle, and a spare shirt. The Hummel Root shoulder bag and the Puma TeamGoal backpack complete the range for those who don’t want to display a club.

Tactical Board and Whistle: The Educator's Tools

The magnetic board PowerShot measuring ninety centimeters by sixty, erasable, is used to place players with magnets and to draw movements with a marker, readable by the whole group at half-time. The A4 tactical notebook from Select keeps track of the sessions from week to week. The whistle Fox 40, introduced in 1987 at the Pan American Games in Indianapolis by Canadian referee Ron Foxcroft, works without a ball: its chambers produce a powerful sound that doesn’t jam in rain or cold. Both the referee and the educator gain authority with a signal that carries right to the end of the pitch.

Ball Bag, Foldable Goal and Markers: Preparing for the Session

The ball bag Sporti carries twelve to fifteen balls in one go from the changing room to the pitch, without making multiple trips. The foldable goal PowerShot Quickfire, measuring three meters by two, unfolds in seconds for small-sided games and finishing drills, then folds flat to fit in a car boot. The Pitchmarker markers, sold in packs of twenty-five, stick into the grass to outline zones and channels without hindering movement or damaging the turf, unlike cones that can be displaced by a tackle. The Uhlsport bottle finally accompanies the player from warm-up to cool-down.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size shin guards should I choose?

The size depends on the height: the shin guard covers the leg from below the knee to about five centimeters above the ankle. Manufacturers indicate the size corresponding to each height range on the product sheet.

How do I wash shin guards?

Remove the shells from the socks or sleeves and wash them by hand in warm soapy water, then let them air dry. The removable textile parts can be machine washed at thirty degrees; regular washing prevents odours and irritations.

What size goal for football at eight?

In football at eight, played for under tens to under thirteens, the goal measures six meters by two meters ten. Foldable goals of three meters by two are more suitable for small-sided games and training drills.

How to store your football bag to avoid odours?

Empty the bag as soon as you return, take out the studs to let them dry in the air, filled with newspaper, and wash the kit quickly. Leave the bag open for a few hours and wipe the shoe compartment with a damp cloth each week.

How many cones are needed to run a session?

A set of twenty to forty cones in two or three colours is enough to outline small fields, drills and sprint courses. The different colours help young players to identify their area or team without long explanations.
