Fellow soccer parents and coaches, I am thinking of starting a brand of soccer gear designed to protect kids from injuries on the pitch....probably just like you, I have a lot of experience playing the game and very strong views on what's good for kids, but I realize I need to ask a few more parents before coming up with a "go" or "no go" decision.... To that end, I would love to pick your brain. I put together a super quick survey. I tried to made it fun and interesting, and your input would be much appreciated. http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/D76LFZS Thanks in advance for your help, please do not hesitate to contact me directly if you have any further thoughts, or post threads so other can chip in as well. Peace and thanks! Claudio @import "http://diacache.daylife.com/_static/release-46080/v2/css/daylife/thickbox.css";
If you make your decision maybe I can be of some help. My company is Hot Shot Gels LLC and we have created a metatarsal pad to help protect players from crunching tackles and continuous shooting drills. We are currently making more Gel protective gear. Keep me updated on your progress. May be of benefit to the soccer community in a large way. hotshotgels.com [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCiyOYh7stw"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCiyOYh7stw[/ame]
A helmet is most important euipment for child protection.The helmet should sit level on the child's head and cover the forehead. It should not rock from side to side. Some forward and backward movements are OK, provided the helmet will not slip down over a child's eyes.
