Best gear to keep your keeper warm

Anonymous
NP. Could I ask here: what about playing in the rain/cold? Are there any water-repellent and warm undershirts that can be worn under uniform?

Our team announced winter league instead of futsal this year. Does it mean there will be both practices and games? How cold would be too cold to have a game/practice? What's the best way to dress warmly but keep your uniform/number visible? Obvously, I am very new to this. Thank you.

Our club practices all winter outside as long as the temperature is above 32 degrees. Ive heard we are doing an outdoor winter league but no details yet.

Wool base layers.

I know some clubs that have an exclusive deal with Nike are required to wear Nike base layer no other brands based on club contract. The only exclusions are boots and keeper gloves. Just FYI before you spend money on a brand you cant wear.


Which clubs have such a deal? That's absurd - and not something I've come across - still less had anyone attempt to enforce.

Bad idea, if it rains or gets wet it will not be fun

Standard performance under layers. I’ve never seen any water resistant ones, the point is they breathe rather than trap water. Your player will get wet if it’s raining, wet socks, wet shoes, wet shirts and shorts.

So what do you all wear in winter? Compression shirt, compression pants, 2 shirts, one sweatshirt and sweat pants?

Close - compression shirt and pants, LS shirt (has multiple weights - picks based on how cold it is), socks, fleece and sweatpants on top, gloves and hat. If he gets hot after running around, he removes the fleece and hat. If there's rain, he puts a waterproof wind breaker on top, but bottom half still gets pretty wet.

Thank you. First cold practice yesterday. Kid said his hands were cold.

This will be our first time doing outdoor winter games.

Same. Gloves and hat are key.

In my experience, the kids end up removing some layers during practice. Once they have the right clothes, they don't mind. It's the parents that mind because it's really cold to stand on the sideline for 90 minutes!

I'm sorry to hijak and can start my own thread if that would be better. For non-goalkeepers, what do you do to keep the kid's head warm? My son says he can't do headers in a hat. Is there another option?

There are beanie style hats made out of performance fabric that are relatively thin but warm. He can wear one of those if needed (but I think gloves are more important than a hat).
