Pop warner safety measurements for shoulder pads
Equipment Fitting Guidelines:
- Shoulder pads:
- Check chest and shoulder measurements by using cloth tape around upper torso at center of chest and over shoulders from tip of the left humerus to tip of the right humerus. Use corresponding shoulder pad sizing chart from manufacturer.
- Place pads over head and complete front lock/laces then pull straps on sides into place. Pads should be tight without irritating the axilla or pinching/binding in the collar or neck opening. This should occur at rest and confirmed with player turning from side to side.
- The foam pad should extend at least 1/4 in. past the humerus, and total coverage should extend over sternum, front and upper aspect of shoulder, scapula, and rhomboid regions.
- Keep in mind that some shoulder pad styles are designed for different football positions to use.
- Always inspect equipment after use [1]
