Red Alpha Skins shin guards, wear them under your socks

Shin Guards for Junior Soccer: What to Look For

Junior soccer is full of action, and young players need shin guards they’re happy to wear. If they’re bulky, slip down or need constant adjusting, kids tend to leave them off or play distracted.

What families look for

  • Easy to put on: a slip-on design with no straps or tape
  • Comfortable fit: soft, flexible and lightweight
  • Stays in place: designed to sit securely under socks
  • Easy to clean: wash cold, air dry in the shade, do not tumble dry
  • Right size: check our sizing guide, as kids grow quickly

Choosing the right size
Alpha Skins come in Small, Medium and Large. Check the sizing guide on each product page, or contact us and we’ll help you choose.

Shin guards and club rules
Most junior clubs require shin guards, so check with your club about what’s allowed.
