LOS ANGELES, July 29, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Football
season is upon us, but before the bright stadium lights, cheering
crowds and friendly rivalries hit hometowns across the country,
football players are enduring rigorous summer training camps.
During these camps, safety is of utmost importance and as a result,
premier specialty sporting goods retailer Sport Chalet provides the
latest gear to keep players safe on the field.
"Football is one of the heaviest contact sports, making players
extremely prone to a number of injuries, including sprains, muscle
cramps and concussions," said Sport Chalet Expert Matthew Harris.
"It's important for families to take preventative measures when
preparing their kids for football season and Sport Chalet offers
the top protective gear to help ensure safety and peace of
mind."
To help players decrease their chance of injury on the field,
Harris provides protective gear to make training camp and the big
game worry-free and enjoyable:
- Protect the noggin. From the defensive
lineman to the receiver and the kicker, it is of utmost importance
to prevent head injuries. The Xenith Youth X2 Football Helmet is
built for a customizable fit and with the highest quality materials
for maximum protection. For eye protection while still getting a
clear view of the field, attach the anti-fog and anti-scratch Under
Armour Football Visor.
- Make and take the hardest hits.
Enduring or giving hard tackles is part of the game. The durable
Schutt XV Flex All Purpose Shoulder Pads feature new and thicker
block padding for maximum coverage to improve protection and
performance. Safeguard ribs and the lower back with the
impact-absorbing Schutt Varsity Football Hardshell Rib Protector
and Douglas Football CP Back Plate.
- Guard the extremities. Bypass big
bruises or abrasions on the arms and legs with Under Armour
HeatGear Football Forearm Pad and the Nike Recruit Youth Padded
Football Pant. Both provide a snug, sleek fit and offer protection
where it counts the most.
- Keep those pearly whites. Avoid losing
teeth and jaw injuries with the Shock Doctor Adult Gel Nano
Mouthguard featuring a custom gel-fit liner, vertical shock frame
and tri-bite windows for enhanced protection and fit.
- Don't drop the ball. Perfect the
catch-and-tuck and secure that 50-yard pass with the Nike Vapor Fly
Football Glove, equipped with pre-curved fingers, seamless
durability and plenty of grip on the fingers and palms. For the
linemen battling in the trenches, the Under Armour UA Combat Full
Finger glove provides breathable, custom-molded finger padding for
dexterity and additional protection.
- Achieve the fastest 100-yard dash.
Whether beating a personal record or sprinting towards the end zone
for a touchdown, the Under Armour Men's Highlight MC Football
Cleats are lightweight and provide superior traction for explosive
acceleration. The ClutchFit™ uppers have a compressive feel and the
foot-forming 4D Foam® footbeds reduce cleat pressure for an
enhanced fit.
- Get immediate relief. Muscle aches and
pains are unavoidable during a rousing game of football, but they
can be treated with MuscleAidTape. This latex-free, water-proof and
breathable kinesiology tape improves blood circulation, re-educates
the neuromuscular system and provides relief for any muscle or
joint discomfort.
