Football is a physical game and a player’s body can take a beating in the field. There is no team sport with as much potential risk for injury as this game. Activities such as running, blocking and tackling put the body in compromising positions that can make it highly vulnerable to injury. Thus proper equipment is essential.

Helmets, shoulder pads, back plates, football shields are some of the protective equipment needed by players. But you have to pay attention too to other measures like warm up exercises and stretching before going in the field. Also use proper techniques in tackling and blocking to greatly minimize your risks for injury.
