Football Groin Protection – Maximum Safety for Sensitive Areas
American football is a full-contact sport where your body – especially sensitive areas – needs reliable protection. A protective cup is essential to prevent serious injuries in the groin area. Our range includes high-quality jockstraps, compression shorts with cups, and supporters from top brands, offering maximum protection, comfort, and a secure fit for every player.
Why Groin Protection is Essential in Football
- Protection from Direct Hits: Prevents serious injuries from tackles, blocks, or accidental contact.
- Secure Fit: Anatomically shaped cups with supporters or integrated shorts ensure a stable position.
- Comfort: Modern materials prevent chafing and adapt to your body shape.
- Versatility: Suitable for football, training, games, and other contact sports like baseball, hockey, or MMA.
Types of Groin Protection
Depending on your position, play style, and personal preference, there are several options:
- Supporter with Cup: Classic jockstrap with a removable hard shell cup—ideal for maximum mobility.
- Compression Shorts with Cup: Provide muscle support and an integrated cup holder—perfect for players who want an all-in-one solution.
- Hard Cups: Made from rigid plastic or carbon for maximum impact resistance—best for high-intensity play.
- Soft Cups: Flexible material for training or lighter contact situations while still offering solid protection.
