6 Months Strong — Why Alpha Skins Is Just Getting Started

Six months ago, Alpha Skins was born from a simple idea: that kids deserve better, more comfortable gear when they play the sport they love. And nothing captures that spirit more than this moment — Jax, our inspiration and product tester from day one, proudly holding the 2025 Gold Coast United Annual Cup Carnival Under 9s Champions trophy.

Below, you’ll see him in action during a high-stakes match against arch-rivals Burleigh Heads — laser-focused, mid-strike, and of course, wearing his trusted Alpha Skins shin guards.

Just three weeks earlier, Jax and his team also took out the Palm Beach Sharks Annual Carnival — making them dual champions in 2025.

At the start of the season, every player on the team was gifted a pair of Alpha Skins shin guards. Since then? They’ve played 25 matches — and lost just once. Coincidence? Maybe. But we like to think the comfort, grip, and confidence that Alpha Skins deliver played a part in that incredible run.

Jax isn’t just a player. He’s the reason we started. And just like his champion teammates behind him, Alpha Skins is built on hustle, heart, and a passion for doing things differently.

Since day one, we've been focused on providing shin guards that actually work for young athletes and the parents who support them.

Built on Purpose, Backed by Real Play

At the core of Alpha Skins are the pillars that define every product we make:

• Easy Slip-On – No straps. No tape. Just slip them on and go.
• Washable – Machine-washable for easy, long-lasting use.
• Comfortable – Breathable, soft materials kids actually want to wear.
• Non-Slip Grip – Stays in place, even during fast-paced games.
• Lightweight – So light, they’ll forget they’re wearing them.
• Durable Protection – Made to last an entire season (and more).
• Moisture-Absorbing – Keeps little legs dry and fresh.
• Skin-Friendly Fabric – Gentle on skin, even for sensitive kids.

✅ According to Raising Children Network, properly fitted protective gear plays a vital role in injury prevention during kids’ sport — and it’s why every Alpha Skins guard is designed with both safety and comfort in mind.

A Brand That Grows With You
