Foot Ball Gear

None asked:


Ok I’m playing offensive tackle and tight end this year for youth football, Im 5′7 158 lbs and 13 years old and my 40 yard is 5.3 secs. 160 lbs is the max weight limit so my coach set me as offensive tackle. I was wondering what kind of gear do I need or should I buy. I allready have my cleats, shoulder pads, jersey, game pants, gloves, mouthguard, and cup. Should I buy a girdle, or body shirt and something else?

So much football, so little time. Year round, I am either watching the NFL, AFL, NCAA, or even the NAFL, and this question concerns the NAFL, and other leagues of that level.

NAFL players are listed as semi-pro. This traditional-style football league pays players about $50 to $100 a game. Usually, the players must provide their own gear (but uni provided). But when these players hit the field, while a LONG way from NFL talent, they play just as fiercely, taking just as much punishment as if they were paid top dollar.

Would you be willing to subject yourself to that kind of competition for just $100 a game?
