Goalkeeper shirts for kids

Function of a goalkeeper shirt

As a goalkeeper, you have the important job of keeping the ball out of the net. As the only player on the pitch, you're allowed to touch the ball with your hands. It often takes a dive or a slide to keep the ball out. That's why it's a good idea to wear a goalkeeper shirt. These shirts have padding at the elbows, protecting you from grazes and bruises. On artificial turf especially, a fall like that can really hurt.

Protection isn't the only function of a goalkeeper shirt. Goalkeeper shirts also partly block the wind and wick away moisture. This keeps your body feeling dry and comfortable in every situation, without getting cold. As a goalkeeper, you alternate between standing still and moving fast. In both cases, it's important for your body to stay warm so you can react quickly when the ball comes your way.

Say goodbye to bad smells

Make sure to wash your goalkeeper shirt soon after playing football. This gives sweat little chance to soak in. Wait too long and unpleasant odours can linger in the shirt.
It's important to follow the care instructions so the shirt keeps its good properties. These are listed on the label inside the shirt.
