They provide the standard shin protection required by FA and UEFA match regulations (which stipulate that players must wear shin guards covered by stockings). For professional-level match compliance, always verify with your specific league or competition rules, as requirements can vary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo the compression sleeves keep them in position without tape?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the integrated compression calf sleeves are specifically designed to eliminate the need for shin guard tape. The sleeve wraps around the calf above and below the guard, holding it firmly in position throughout a full match. Many players find this more comfortable and secure than traditional tape, and it also allows for quick, easy removal at half-time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre they suitable for children as well as adults?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the shin guards are available in multiple sizes and the 7 colour options are popular with both junior and adult players. Ensure you select the correct size based on your child's height or shin length (refer to the size guide in the listing) — correctly fitting shin guards are essential for both protection and comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use them for rugby or hockey as well as football?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hard shell construction makes them effective for any contact sport where shin protection is needed. Many rugby players use football-style shin guards for training sessions. For hockey, shin guards are typically strapped differently and the sleeve-based system may not suit all hockey socks — check compatibility with your team's kit before purchasing for hockey use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I clean them after a muddy match?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hard shell can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. The compression sleeve component can be hand washed or machine washed on a gentle cool cycle and air dried. Do not machine wash the entire guard with the hard shell attached — remove or detach as the product design allows before washing the sleeve.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ActiveSupport UK","offers":[{"title":"L size orange","offer_id":56985218384255,"sku":"1806214909860802560","price":22.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"L size green","offer_id":56985218417023,"sku":"1806214909860802561","price":22.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"L size white","offer_id":56985218449791,"sku":"1806225737842454532","price":22.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"L size blue","offer_id":56985218482559,"sku":"1806225737842454535","price":22.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"L size red","offer_id":56985218515327,"sku":"1806225737842454538","price":22.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"L size yellow","offer_id":56985218548095,"sku":"1806225737842454541","price":22.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"L size black","offer_id":56985218580863,"sku":"1806225737842454544","price":22.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0981\/3239\/4367\/files\/Y5xW4lAPKyTDjiAm.webp?v=1771501108","url":"https:\/\/www.activesupportuk.co.uk\/products\/professional-shin-guards-with-compression-sleeve-pair","provider":"ActiveSupport UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
