Question for all you young athletes. I'm equipping my little one (7 years old) for youth football. I've noticed that padded undershirts have become popular in recent years. They didn't have this back in my day, but it seems to be a good idea.

Do youth players wear these or are they overkill and too hot?

if yes, what is the brand to get?

Why would a seven year old need this?

hg, that is why i am asking the question. It doesn't seem like a bad idea. I remember playing o-line and the most painful memories I have are when our own RB would miss his hole and spear me right in the back with his face mask.

They are overkill, the kids are 7, just make sure he has a regular shirt underneath his pads

He better get it so the other kids don't make fun of him and call him a poor.

make sure you get him a long forearm pad. Slide a metal plate underneath it. He will be able to do a lot of damage. I did this for my all my boys. They were beasts out there

I don't think anyone can hit hard enough at 7 to need one. No pain no gain.
