What size goalkeeper gloves should I buy for my child?
The most accurate way to find the correct size of goalkeeper gloves is to measure with a tape or ruler, from the base of the child's wrist to the tip of the middle finger. Near the bottom of each product page you should find a size chart. You can also use your child's age to determine the correct size. The Glove Size dropdown menus on each product page should outline which size is designed for which age group. Sizes start at size 4 for children aged 7 to 8, and go up to size 7 for players aged 12 and above. If in doubt we generally recommend sizing up.
What goalkeeper gloves are best for a child who is new to goalkeeping?
Any glove from the FORZA range is suitable for a new goalkeeper. However, if you are looking for a great value glove for a beginner, the FORZA Club Goalkeeper Gloves are a great entry level option. With a ClubGrip latex palm and a simple wrist strap closure, they offer exceptional quality at a great price. The FORZA Lite Strapless Goalkeeper Gloves are a lightweight option that are easy to pull on and off without any strap adjustment. Both are available from size 4 upwards and are durable enough for regular use.
What is the difference between FORZA kids goalkeeper gloves?
The main difference between FORZA kids goalkeeper gloves is the cut and construction. For example, the FORZA HYB Goalkeeper Gloves use a hybrid cut with 4mm Quartz latex. The HYB gloves offer advanced grip and a 3mm neoprene backhand for cushioning. The FORZA NGE Goalkeeper Gloves feature a negative cut. This means the seams sit inside the glove for a tighter, more streamlined fit. The FORZA Sicuro Goalkeeper Gloves use a roll cut, with the latex wrapping around the fingers for a larger contact area on the palms. Ideal for training, the FORZA Club and FORZA Lite Strapless gloves offer simpler designs at a lower price point.
How should kids goalkeeper gloves fit?
Kids goalkeeper gloves should fit snugly without being too tight. There should be a small amount of space at the tip of each finger, roughly 1 to 2 centimetres, to allow for comfortable catching and handling. The glove should feel secure around the palm and wrist without restricting hand movement or blood flow. If the gloves are too loose, grip and ball handling can be negatively affected. If they are too tight, the gloves may be uncomfortable and limit flexibility. A secure wrist closure helps keep the glove in place during play.
