Proper equipment is an important precaution before you actually start playing soccer. You can get seriously injured if you don’t have the proper gear. You need something to protect your legs because there is a lot of leg action in soccer. Shin guards help protect your shins so when people kick your shins it won’t hurt. You need you need to get proper size shin guards because if they are too small you can get hurt. You will also need proper socks. The socks have to be built for soccer because they are longer and more durable; they also keep your shin guards in place. If socks are too small, they can cause skin irritation. Lastly you will need soccer cleats. They are supposed to be a bit tight on your foot but not too tight, if they are too loose, they can slip and you can sprain your ankle. Tighter cleats provide more stability.
