Binfield Football Club is committed to ensuring the highest standards of player safety across all age groups. Following recent reviews of match-day equipment and reports within the press highlighting the ineffectiveness of micro shin pads, the club is introducing a full ban on micro shin pads, effective immediately.
Whilst we recognise that the FA has not yet put a ban in place to this effect, we at Binfield FC strongly believe that micro shin pads do not provide adequate protection and significantly increase the risk of injury. To maintain a safe playing environment for all, all players must wear appropriately sized shin pads for training sessions and competitive fixtures.
We ask all players, parents, and coaches to support this policy and ensure suitable equipment is worn at all times. The club will continue to prioritise player welfare and appreciates your cooperation in upholding these standards.
