Shin Guards

Posted by Brian under Soccer

Fitting:  When fitting shin guards for soccer, you should place the shin guard to where you feel it is comfortable.  If you can then fit 2-3 fingers between the bottom of your knee cap to the top of the shin guard, then the shin guard fits properly.

Regulations:  All soccer shin guards for players in high school and higher have to have shin Guards that meet the NOCSAE Standard for them to be allowed to be worn during a match.  To find out if your shin guards meet the NOCSAE Standard, there will be a sticker on the front of the packaging as well as on a tag on the shin guards themselves.
