Elbow Pads

ELBOW PADS PROTECT sensitive areas of the player’s elbow. Most elbow pads are adjustable with Velcro straps, allowing the player to secure the pads and achieve a comfortable fit. Be careful not to adjust the elbow pads too loosely because the pads will move during your game and not provide proper protection; on the other hand, tightening the elbow pads too snugly will constrict your mobility, ultimately hindering your game.

Fitting Elbow Pads

Elbow pads protect the arm from the bicep extension of the shoulder pads to the cuff of the gloves, leaving no part of the arm exposed. Players should look for a good range of motion in elbow pads. The elbow should fit comfortably in the center of the cup and should not twist or slide on the arm. Also, look for a pad that provides forearm protection. The end of the elbow pad should meet the cuff of the glove. Elbow pads come in small, medium, and large and are sized based on height.
