Is this head protection system, permitted during games by US Youth Soccer ?

"Full90 Headguards were also designed to comply with FIFA Law IV and further clarifications specified by the USSF in their March 8, 2003 Player Equipment memorandum. Full90 Performance Headguards have been tested and show no effect on rebound speed of a headed ball, thus the headgear can be worn without changing that important aspect of the game. It is yet to be determined if the other manufacturers? products comply with the above."Read full article here: http://pleasantonrage.org/articles/full90-05.htm

Yes my daughter plays competitive soccer and wears her head protection at all games and practices for that matter since sustaining a concussion. Never a problem.

I am not an expert, but I believe that FIFA Law 4 allows for headgear. My son wears it during U9 soccer in Ohio and we have yet to encounter any issues at tournaments or in league play. I did run it past the coach to make sure he didn't have any issues and he was all for it. 2 kids on our teams wear the Full90 product and I have seen other kids wearing the other brands.

Not sure. Our son has not been released to play yet. I am assuming it can be worn for local travel leagues.

This is nothing more than face protection. What you see here has a strap that goes around like a catchers mask. This is not a helmet of any sort, just face protection. Without out having it here I can't be certain but I think the upper opening is bigger than a little league ball. Definitely not the right product for your application but fantastic for the girls in the circle or on the field in softball where the ball is bigger and not quite as hard.

Not sure. I purchased this 1 4 my son who played high school football last yr. It worked great w/ his helmet.

Well it depends on what kind of sport and the amount of movement in it . I wouldnt recommend using them as if their on your head they can fall off and break since theyre made of plastic but if your doing light work then go for it .

I've not used it for soccer, but I use it for weight training. It gives me the support I need to withstand the pressure from the weights.

Absolutely---Bought it for my grandsons& their dad, my son & his friends sometimes play using the 2 goals we have set up. The goals handle the older players without issues..

I am the equipment manager for our soccer association, so I did not use them personally. They are small...used for u10 and under. They were not large enough for our Senior teams or even u13 for that matter. They seemed to hold up pretty well though.

Yes, but they would look funky, bulky, and, frankly, unprofessional. I would try soccer shin guards. Nobody would even notice you have them on with good protection. I took at line drive to the shin during an open class softball game last season so I get the want for them. I still have a lump from it. I wore soccer shin guards the rest of the year, both plate and bases, for slow pitch.

It is definitely not a mini helmet. It is just for play, shouldn't be used for serious football game. I have about a 60 cm diameter head and it is pretty tight going on but I get it on and it feels good. Your size might be questionable if it would fit. Hope this helps.

I believe helmets designed for overhead have a glass viewer or viewer protectios. This is plastic and sparks will quickly pit and destroy the viewer.

No, football helmets are designed to fit tight against the head. These would probably reduce their effectiveness by forcing the player to wear the wrong size.

I haven't tried using a helmet with this support, I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work though. The only obstacle that may be present would be with the padding around your little ones head with this support along with a helmet may restrict your little one being able to freely move his/her head around for "sight seeing"...??..

I Just bought a Protec Classic helmet and the sticker on the inside says that it complies with CPSC safety standards for bicycle helmets for people 5 and up. I hope that answers your question.

That is a tough question. I suspect if he's in front, the system won't pick you up or if your far enough in front of him it may not be a problem and/or if he wears a full face helmet it probably won't be a problem either. I don't know for sure. I ride a GoldWing and have an open face helmet and my wife also has an open face helmet. I don't notice us picking up external noises in general but we don't ride in the city either.Good Luck.....

My son plays catcher for his travel baseball team. And he wears the shield under his catchers gear and has no problem throwing the ball or throwing someone out at second. Range of movement is not restricted even under his catchers chest protector. It fits so well he wears it hours after the game, and I have seen him shot basket ball with it on too. So it shouldn't be a problem.

I don't really know but i do know some states don't allow them,my son has his in the wind shield he travels from state to state and he said it has saved him many times.He really likes it.

Yes. The headband wraps around your forehead and announce your ears. I regularly wear the shield with goggles or safety glasses at the same time. You will have no problems.
