Black Friday is the perfect time to upgrade your child's goalkeeper gear without waiting for the end of the season. You can find goalkeeper gloves for juniors and younger kids from brands like Uhlsport, Reusch, adidas, Nike, and T1TAN.
The selection includes gloves designed for both matches and training, with sizes suitable for children's hands.
Black Friday is an end-of-year commercial period during which Foot-Store highlights its selection of children's goalkeeper gloves, across all brands and ages. It's a great time to compare models before the season progresses, whether your child is starting out as a goalkeeper or needs to replace their favourite glove. You can find all the current deals on the Black Friday page.
The choice mainly depends on the child's hand size and the intended use, be it for matches or training. For training, models like the adidas Predator TRN gloves, adidas Copa Pro, or the training gloves Rinat Fiera offer a good grip for everyday use without competing. For match day, gloves like Nike Match, Nike MATCH JR, or Nike Academy, along with the Reusch Attrakt or Uhlsport ranges, are designed for enhanced grip during play. The brand T1TAN, with the Beast and Classic models, also offers gloves designed for frequent use. In all cases, it's best to check the size chart before confirming a model, as the fit can vary between brands.
The children's catalogue includes several brands specializing in goalkeeper equipment.
Gloves are just part of the equipment; you can complete your child's outfit on the following pages.
There are several key times throughout the year that allow you to refresh your goalkeeper gear without delay. The Black Friday, found on the Black Friday page, kicks off this period, followed by the end-of-year holidays, a traditional time for gifting new gloves. Then come the winter sales, and the French Days in spring, giving you additional chances to keep an eye on the catalogue before the season resumes and new collections arrive.
The Black Friday page gathers all the ongoing deals across the site, including children's goalkeeper gloves. It's the first page to check for the featured models at this time of year.
The size is determined by measuring the child's hand, from the wrist to the fingertips, and then comparing this measurement to the size chart provided by each brand. A glove that is too big reduces ball-handling precision, while a glove that is too small restricts finger movement.
A match glove is generally designed to provide maximum grip on game day, while a training glove, like the Rinat Fiera training gloves, prioritises durability for repeated use. Many families keep a designated glove for training to preserve the match glove for longer.
It's not always necessary; it depends on the wear of the palm and how frequently they're used. A child who plays and trains every week will wear through their gloves quicker than one who wears them occasionally, so it's better to check the grip's condition regularly rather than relying on a set time frame.
Foot-Store also offers shoes suitable for goalkeepers on the football shoes page, as well as complete training outfits on dedicated pages for tops, pants, and training tracksuits for children.
