These gloves are engineered to support junior goalkeepers in every aspect of their game, from intense training sessions to competitive matches.
When facing a fast-paced shot, the Soft Grip Pro latex palm allows the junior goalkeeper to confidently catch and hold the ball. The excellent grip ensures the ball doesn't slip, while the cushioning absorbs impact. Simultaneously, the Fingersave spines provide critical support, preventing fingers from bending backward on powerful impacts. This protection builds confidence, enabling young players to commit fully to every save.
After securing the ball, the enhanced grip aids in accurate throwing and passing. Whether launching a goal kick or initiating a quick counter-attack with a precise throw, the gloves ensure the ball is directed exactly where intended. The secure half-wrap wrist strap maintains glove stability during dynamic movements, preventing distractions.
The durable construction and consistent performance make these gloves ideal for daily training. The combination of grip, cushioning, and finger protection means young goalkeepers can practice repeatedly without discomfort or increased injury risk. This allows them to focus on technique, improving their shot-stopping and handling skills.
Unpack and Inspect: Carefully remove the gloves from their packaging and inspect them for any manufacturing defects.
Adjust Wrist Strap: Slide your hand into the glove and firmly adjust the half-wrap wrist strap around your wrist. Ensure it is snug enough to provide a secure fit and prevent movement, but not so tight as to restrict circulation or comfort.
Pre-Use Dampening: For optimal grip activation, lightly dampen the palms with clean water before your first use and before each subsequent use. This helps activate the latex and improves tackiness.
These gloves are specifically designed for junior goalkeepers, suitable for a wide range of age groups and skill levels, from beginners to advanced junior players.
They are compatible with all standard soccer ball sizes appropriate for junior play.
Proper care is crucial for extending the life and maintaining the performance of your goalkeeper gloves.
Hand Wash Only: After each use, gently hand wash the gloves using lukewarm water. Avoid using harsh detergents, soaps, or brushes, as these can damage the latex palm. Focus on rinsing dirt and sweat from the palm material.
Rinse Thoroughly: Ensure all dirt and soap residue are completely removed from the latex and fabric.
Gentle Drying: Gently squeeze out excess water (do not wring or twist the gloves). Allow the gloves to air dry naturally in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources. Lay them flat or hang them to help retain their shape.
Storage: Store your gloves in a cool, dry environment, ideally in a breathable glove bag, to prevent the palms from drying out, cracking, or sticking together.
Avoid: Do not machine wash, tumble dry, iron, or bleach the gloves, as these methods will severely damage the materials and protective features.
