The rise of women's football is obvious:football is also becoming increasingly popular among women. Women's football is currently the fastest growing sport in the Netherlands. Not only do you get a very good condition, this team sport is also a lot of fun to do. A little competition never hurt anyone, and a little more socializing isn't a bad thing either. But what do you actually need to start playing football? You can read it here!
Football shoes
Successful football stands or falls with the right football boots. By purchasing football boots from well-known, specialized brands such as Adidas football shoes or Nike football shoes, you can be sure that you are investing in quality. The right football boots give you the grip you need, even when the grass is wet and slippery. In addition, it also ensures that you can prevent falls and possible injuries to feet, ankles and knees.
Football pants and t-shirt
Whether you should buy your own football pants and football shirt depends entirely on the club you decide to play football for. Some clubs have their own outfit, and you will often be offered this for an additional amount as soon as you join the club. If you first start without a club, it is wise to purchase these items yourself. You can find them in almost all sports stores, and you can just choose a set that you like, and that is of course comfortable. Also look for a suitable tracksuit for when it is a bit colder!
Football socks
In addition to shoes, pants and t-shirt, you also need the right football socks. You wear these over your shin guards, and are therefore quite a bit higher than normal sports socks. Look for football socks that are not too tight, but certainly not too loose to prevent further irritation.
Sock tape
Do your socks still get a bit difficult, or do you not always wear shin guards? Then sock tape can be very useful. This tape ensures that your socks stay in the right place, without you having to bend over to put the socks on.
Shin guards
You've seen them pass by a few times:the shin guards. If you're just starting out, you won't need them right away, but as soon as you join a club or go to a competition, shin guards are mandatory. And that obligation also ensures that your shins remain protected!
