Goalkeeper gloves Errea for kids

Why choose Errea gloves for a young goalkeeper?

Errea is an Italian brand of football equipment that designs gloves tailored for hand protection and ball handling. For a child, a well-fitting glove boosts confidence in the air and during clearances, which are two key actions for a goalkeeper. The Errea kids' collection features the technical aspects of adult gloves, modified to fit the sizes and shapes of young players.

How to choose the right size of goalkeeper gloves for a child?

First, the size is chosen by measuring the child's hand circumference from the thumb to the little finger, and then comparing this measurement to the size guide available on the product page. A glove that is too big limits grip precision, while a glove that is too tight can hinder movement and airflow. It's best to check the size before each new season, as a child's hand grows quickly.

How to care for goalkeeper gloves to prolong their lifespan?

A children's goalkeeper glove wears out faster than an adult model as it is used similarly on sometimes thinner material. It is recommended to rinse the gloves with clear water after each use on synthetic pitches or in the rain, then let them air dry, away from a source of direct heat. Avoiding the washing machine and tumble dryer helps maintain the grip of the palm for a longer period.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a match glove and a training glove for a child?

A match glove generally prioritises a latex palm for better grip, whereas a training glove focuses on greater durability to withstand frequent use. The choice mainly depends on how often the child plans to use them.

Should a young goalkeeper wear gloves with or without reinforcements?

Gloves with finger reinforcements limit hyperextension and can reassure a child who is just starting as a goalkeeper. Gloves without reinforcements offer more flexibility and a more natural feel for the ball, suited for more experienced goalkeepers.

Do Errea kids' gloves work for indoor or outdoor play?

It depends on the model and the type of field: some gloves are designed for natural or synthetic grass, while others are suited for harder surfaces like futsal. The product page for each model specifies the recommended playing surface.

How can I tell if a child’s goalkeeper glove is still the right size?

A simple sign is the space between the child's fingertips and the end of the glove: if the fingers touch the end of the glove in a natural position, it's time to move up to the next size. It is recommended to double-check this measurement each new season.

Can Errea goalkeeper gloves be worn all year round?

Yes, but some models are better suited for wet or cold conditions thanks to different palm materials, while others work better on dry pitches. It can be useful to have two pairs depending on the seasons of practice.
