As a mom with a football-loving kid, I didn’t realize how many things we actually needed 😅 From training days to match days, these are the exact items that made our life easier, more organized, and honestly more fun.
If you’re a football mom too (e...
We always have at least one extra ball at home because somehow it’s always missing before training 😅
Choose a durable one for outdoor use—especially with wet grass.
Football
This was a struggle at first because my son didn’t like wearing them. We switched to lightweight ones and now no complaints!
Tip: Look for ones that don’t slip during running.
Shin Guards For Kids
Very important depending on the field (grass vs artificial turf).
I always go for comfort over style—happy feet = better play 👌
Kids Football Shoes
We learned this the hard way—regular socks don’t stay in place.
These help prevent slipping inside the shoes and make a big difference.
Pro Socks
Game changer for keeping everything in ONE place (shoes, bottle, snacks).
No more last-minute panic before training 😅
Football bag
Kids get super thirsty during training.
I prefer one that doesn’t leak in the bag (learned that the hard way too 😅)
Water Bottles
Perfect for extra practice at home or just playing for fun.
Also keeps them active instead of more screen time 🙌
Football Goals | Pop-Up & Kids Goals
We use this for simple drills at home.
Even 10–15 minutes of practice makes a difference!
Soccer Cones
Great for improving speed and coordination.
Makes training feel like a fun challenge instead of “practice.”
30ft Agility Ladder
Living in the Netherlands = training in the rain is normal 😅
This is a MUST if your child trains outdoors.
Robey training jacket
This is a must if your kid is a goalkeeper.
Goalkeeper Gloves | Goalie Gloves
Always have extras ready because laundry piles up FAST.
Trust me on this one 😂
Football Training Kit | Nike, adidas, PUMA, Under Armour
Small but important!
Nothing worse than realizing the ball is flat right before practice.
