Football isn’t just a game—it’s a full-contact test of strength, speed, and endurance. And in Southern California, it’s a way of life.
The Stats: Why Football Safety Matters—Especially in SoCal
Over 1.02 million high school athletes played football in 2023, making it the number one most popular boys’ sport in the United States. California ranks among the top three states for participation, and Southern California is known for producing elite talent and high-stakes competition.
However, football also accounts for 14 to 20 percent of all high school sports injuries, according to the National High School Sports-Related Injury Surveillance Study. The most common injuries include:
- Contusions (bruises)
- Knee injuries
- Shoulder and rib trauma
With high-intensity play and frequent physical contact, wearing the right protective gear is not optional—it’s essential. Research shows that properly fitted, high-quality gear can significantly reduce injury severity and keep players on the field longer.
Girdles That Work as Hard as You Do: 5-Pad vs. 7-Pad
At Westminster Sportswear, we offer advanced girdle technology for athletes who demand top-tier performance and protection.
5-Pad Girdle
Covers thighs, hips, and tailbone. Ideal for junior varsity players, lighter-contact positions, or practice settings.
7-Pad Girdle
Includes added coverage for ribs and knees—recommended for varsity players, high-impact positions, and full-contact games.
Both girdle styles are made with breathable, moisture-wicking fabric that offers compression to reduce muscle fatigue while maintaining full range of motion. Anti-microbial technology helps control odor, and the streamlined design fits seamlessly under uniforms.
Built-In Protection with Padded Football Jerseys
Our padded football jerseys are a popular choice for 7-on-7 scrimmages, youth leagues, and non-padded practices. With integrated padding at the shoulders and ribs, these jerseys provide reliable upper-body protection without the bulk.
- Lightweight, breathable mesh construction
- Durable enough to withstand frequent use
- Customizable with school colors, player names, and logos
Perfect for hot Southern California conditions and players who need to stay cool and protected.
