Football

Football protection and training gear for tackle and flag players: Under Armour receiver gloves, padded girdles, backplates and helmet visors, plus rib protectors, shoulder pads and tackling dummies, from brands including Schutt, CHAMPRO and McDavid. It suits youth players, high school teams and adult league athletes.

Padded girdles are sized by waist and fit like compression shorts, with integrated or pocketed pads covering the hips, thighs and tailbone. Receiver gloves rely on a tacky palm for catching, while lineman gloves add padding and durability. Backplates attach to shoulder pads, so confirm they suit your pad system, and note that youth and adult versions are sized separately. Helmets should carry a current certification label. Whether you play Canadian or American rules, the protective equipment is the same. Browse football padding or receiver gloves next.

Football: frequently asked questions

What certification should a football helmet have?

New football helmets should carry a seal stating they meet the NOCSAE standard. Manufacturers also set a recertification interval, and a helmet that is not reconditioned and recertified on that schedule is no longer considered certified, so check your league's equipment rules each season.

How should a padded football girdle fit?

It should fit like compression shorts, snug enough that the hip, thigh and tailbone pads stay in place when you run and cut. Order by waist measurement from the brand's size chart rather than by your usual shorts size.

How do I keep football gloves sticky?

Wipe off dirt between drills, and when they need cleaning, rinse the palms with cool water and let them air dry. Keep them away from dryers and heaters, which break down the tacky surface.
