Forcefield Protective Headband for Children Ultra Jr, Black Small, Ventilated Impact-Absorbing Headgear

Forcefield Ultra Jr Protective Headband in Small is a lightweight, ventilated headband with a polymeric impact-absorbing core designed to protect children during contact and non-collision sports.

Engineered for young athletes, the Forcefield Ultra Jr combines tested impact protection with a low-profile silhouette that preserves natural ball play and comfort. The small size fits head circumferences roughly 18" to 21" and is ideal for many kids’ sports including soccer, basketball, cheerleading, flag football and figure skating. Its construction focuses protection at critical zones while remaining breathable, moisture-wicking and easy to adjust for a secure fit.

How does this headband reduce risk during play?

The Ultra Jr uses a multi-patented polymeric core placed at critical impact points to absorb and disperse force. It’s been impact tested and carries CEII safety certification while meeting ASTM and Soccer Law 4 protective headgear standards. The goal is to lower force transfer to the head without altering how the ball contacts the skull in soccer.

• Multi-patented polymeric impact core concentrated at key zones
• CEII certified and tested to accepted sport headgear standards
• Profile preserves ball trajectory for accurate heading

Will it stay comfortable and secure during games and practice?

Forcefield designed the Ultra Jr for active use: it's lightweight, ventilated and uses moisture-wicking materials so kids stay cooler and drier. A wide Velcro strap allows quick, precise adjustments and easy on/off, helping keep the band in place through sprints, jumps and turns. The soft internal lining reduces chafing while maintaining a snug fit.

• Breathable fabric panels for airflow
• Velcro adjustment for tailored fit and quick removal
• Moisture-wicking lining for comfort during extended play

Which sizes are available and how do I choose the right one?

Forcefield offers several sizes to fit different age ranges and head circumferences: xSmall for ages 1–6, Small for ages 4–10, Medium for ages 10–14, and Large for ages 14 and up.

Is this headband appropriate for my sport or practice type?

The Ultra Jr is intended for both contact and non-collision team sports where players need low-profile head protection. It’s commonly used in youth soccer, basketball, cheerleading, flag football and figure skating—anywhere a comfortable, certified protective layer is preferred. It’s not a substitute for sport-specific helmets when those are required by rules or for high-risk activities.

• Designed for youth team sports and recreational activities
• Useful during practice, games and drills where soft protection helps
• Not a replacement for helmets required in collision-heavy sports
