[quote=Anonymous]A simple answer if that a boy wants to wear leggings then why not ? In fact for leisure wear very skinny track pants are very fashionable right now and many of these are more like leggings than traditional track pants.  If you are talking about leggings for sport there are actually really good reasons why you should encourage it. A cousin of mine has been coaching soccer to kids for a long time.  In the belief that warmer muscles lead to fewer injuries the club for many years has always encouraged the boys to wear tights or leggings under their shorts during matches as well as in training.  Year after year the boys at the club suffered fewer injuries than those at other clubs and as a result were able to play more, train more, stay fitter, provide more stability for their team.  In recent years other several other clubs have started adopting this idea although I havent heard that any have made the wearing of tights/leggings compulsory yet. Perhaps that should be the next logical step? Some parents may question whether its necessary to spend 40 or 60 dollars on a pair of the new style compression leggings. They may look great but do they do the job better than the woolly tights or leggings that may cost 5 or 10 dollars ? My cousin tells me its too early to answer this although as they are almost certainly more hard wearing and more resistant to tearing when being kicked, that alone may go someway to justifying their  extraordinary price tag. Interested to hear from other parents who have experience on this. [/quote]
