American Football Pad Sets – Protection for Every Game Situation

Whether it's practice or game day: If you're stepping onto the football field, you need more than just a helmet and shoulder pads. Especially the lower body requires targeted protection – and that’s exactly where our pad sets come into play. In this category, you’ll find everything from 7-piece pad sets, knee pads, hip pads, to tail pads. Perfectly tailored to your pants and your playing style – for maximum safety and freedom of movement on the field.

What Is a Pad Set – And Why Is It So Important?

A standard American football pad set consists of seven pieces: two knee pads, two thigh pads, two hip pads, and one tail pad. These pads are inserted directly into the designated pockets of integrated or loose girdles or pants. They’re not optional – they’re a key part of every player’s gear, both in practice and in official games.

The pads are usually made of lightweight, shock-absorbing foam with added flexibility. That means: optimal protection with maximum mobility. Especially in youth football or intense tackle drills during training, full pad sets are essential. Even in top leagues like the GFL and international teams, the 7-piece pad set is standard equipment.

What Types of Pads Are Available?

Our range includes different types of pad sets – depending on purpose, skill level, and comfort needs:

  • 7-Piece Pad Sets: Complete solution with all essential pads. Perfect for beginners, teams, and players just starting out.
  • Knee Pads: Enhanced knee protection – especially important for linemen and players with frequent ground contact.
  • Thigh Pads: Larger pads designed to shield against helmet impact or tackle collisions.
  • Hip Pads: Positioned over the hip bone – protects against hits in open field or during blocking.
  • Tail Pads: Protects the sensitive tailbone area – a must-have for every contact play.

We also offer specially shaped pads with anatomical curves, ventilation holes, and non-slip designs – ideal for ambitious players who won’t settle for less.

What Fits You Best? Selection Tips

Are you a linebacker needing maximum upper-body mobility? Then choose thinner, contoured thigh pads. Are you a lineman taking on contact in every play? Go for large knee pads. For youth players, we recommend classic 7-piece sets – easy to use, durable, and affordable.

Many players also combine their pads with durable football pants or girdles with integrated pockets. This ensures everything stays in place – even under heavy pressure.

Our range includes trusted brands like Champro, Schutt, and Bike. Quality you can count on. Whether it's training, scrimmage, or the championship game – with the right pad set, you’re ready for any impact.
