Spandex is important to athletes because it dries quickly and supports muscles. It also helps aid in flexibility while an athlete is moving.
Because it lets them move around and your shorts don't get caught in your knee pads.
So that they can hide there Ummmm.........
To keep there junk from falling out or flopping around
No air drag, comfy to sweat in, won't get snagged at anything.
you should wear spandex because its like swimming, the more you have on you, the slower you move. Spandexs are pretty tight and they stick to you when your running, so you can run faster.
so they dont fall down(i took a guess at it)
The tighter the clothing worn the less the opposing tackler has to grasp when making a tackle
That way you can decipher who is on your team by color rather than knowledge, which is hard to remember
because they want to look thinner and what they thin is hotter.
Yes they can. My soccer team wears spandex shorts under our shorts and when we play in the freezing cold, we wear spandex leggings. They are very effective.
spandex also known as compression shorts
I think both the jersey and shorts have to be of another co lour.
No- because a soccer ball can not travel fast enough to cause serious injury. They usually wear briefs under their soccer shorts. Although taking a block to the groin doesn't feel amazing still.
some soccer players are called professional soccer players
Spandex Shorts. Usually black in colour, unless told otherwise by the coach. An example are the 3 inch - 7inch Under Armour Spandex Shorts.
Lycra running shorts are a good way to help prevent chaffing during exercising. They are available online at www.runoutlet.com. You can also go to many major retail stores for spandex that you can wear under your running shorts.
A player must wear a shirt, shorts, shoes, socks, and shin guards. Everything else would fall under the set of "items not required to play."
No you don't have to wear spandex if you really don't want to. From experience (playing for 6 years+) you move better with spandex, its really comfortable, and despite what your previous judgement is on them, they really aren't that bad. I prefer them to any shorts and wear them a lot under dresses and skirts. But do whatever you feel comfortable in.
