There is a lot of personal preference involved when it comes to choosing a shoulder pad. Higher levels of play may require a more protective shoulder pad. Keep in mind that more protective doesn't always mean bulkier. Some of the better designs offer great mobility while still offering a high level of protection. Give us a call and we can help you pick the right shoulder pad for your style of play.
It's extremely important that shoulder pads for growing bodies provide adequate level of protection for growing bones and joints.
A proper fit should have the center of your shoulder line up directly with the center of the shoulder caps.
Some models have adjustable bicep protectors. The bicep pads should meet the top of the elbow pad for maximum protection.
Properly fitted pads should provide protection for the collar bone, chest, ribs, back and upper arms.
