Protective equipment should be worn at all times (training and games).
It should fit correctly. It is important to regularly check and maintain protective equipment. Try out equipment prior to using it in competition. Equipment should be specific and appropriate for the sport, size, and age of the athlete.

Remember injuries usually mean time on the sideline - prevention is the key.
Wearing softball knee and shin pad is especially important.

Properly fitting shin pads will prevent a large number of these injuries. You should ensure that the shin pads are appropriate for the sport i.e.different shin pads for hockey and soccer.
