The physical contact in football is so intense that protective gears should always be worn properly in every game. Youth football shoulder pads will surely give each player optimum football engagement without worrying about injuries on the sternum. These come in various colors, styles and designs. They are available in different sizes ranging from 2XS to L. They are made of hard plastic outer covering with shock-absorbing foam material.

Youth football shoulder pads styles vary depending on the players’ positions. Quarterbacks wear lightweight pads that allow them to move freely. There are only few epaulets and flaps on the pads for linemen so that the opportunity of being grabbed by the opponent is greatly reduced. These pads may come with elastic straps or vinyl buckles.
