Fitting Shoulder Pads for Youth Football

Editor's Notes: In the Clubhouse, we constantly get questions about how to properly fit football pads. We invited friend of the show Craig Brooks with Jonquil Sporting Goods to show us how to properly fit shoulder pads and all the accessories. Parents you should pay close attention to Craig’s recommendations, so your future Heisman Trophy Winner’s career is not cut short.

Title: Shoulder Pads

Good information. It is always kind of intimidating going into a store with you son and not knowing how to make sure the pads fit. Now I feel like a properly informed mom.

Title: ...

Hi guys. This is a very informative video--thank you for the info. My son is 10 and this is his 2nd year of playing tackle football. He is very large--he ways 125# and is built like a tank. We are in conflict with the coach about our son wearing his neck roll. I am a nurse and have seen many football neck injuries (although very few serious), and of course I am a big proponant of the roll. My son's coach wants us to take it off. What do you suggest?
