Football accessories for women
From water bottles to captain's armbands: check out all football accessories for women from Nike and Jako.
Handy accessories
There's naturally a big difference between accessories you really need and accessories that are simply handy to have. For instance, a water bottle is great for quenching your thirst, a neck warmer is nice and warm during the winter months, and a coach board is handy for giving the right instructions, but without these accessories you'd still be perfectly able to play a football match.
Sock holders are currently very popular; you attach these bands to the top of your socks and they keep your high football socks from sliding down. Besides sock holders, there are also so-called shinguard holders, which you fasten around your ankles instead. These shinguard holders keep your shin guards in place.
Essential accessories
Besides the handy accessories, there are also accessories that are indispensable during a football match and/or training session. Think of shin guards, which the KNVB requires every player to wear during a match. A captain's armband is also a mandatory item for one of the players on a team. Wearing the captain's armband makes it clear to the referee who their point of contact is. An important detail here is that the captain's armband must be a different colour than the shirt.
Should a serious accident happen on the field, it's good if action can be taken immediately. In many accidents, it's very important to cool the area right away with water or ice, so a water bag definitely shouldn't be missing on the sideline either!
Training accessories
During training, match situations are often simulated, and during a match you naturally have two teams, so bibs are very handy items for these kinds of training exercises! Now that women's football is becoming increasingly popular, pink bibs shouldn't be missing from the collection.
Different training accessories are also available for different types of training. If you want to train your agility, you can do this, for example, with a speed ladder or an agility grid. To improve coordination, you can choose speed rings or sprint hurdles. Many training accessories are multifunctional and can therefore be used for multiple training goals!
