Description

The Gear Pro-Tec Football Back Plate for Youth provides lower back and kidney protection sized specifically for younger football players.

• Padding: Foam impact absorption rated for youth-level contact

The youth sizing ensures the back plate sits properly on smaller frames without riding up or shifting during play, which is a common issue when youth players wear adult-sized protective accessories. The foam padding is rated for the impact forces generated in youth football, providing effective energy absorption without the bulk and weight of adult-rated back plates. This back plate is an important addition for youth programs that prioritize player safety, as the lower back is one of the most commonly unprotected areas in youth football equipment setups.
