Yeah, Cutters makes some quality football gloves. I don't play WR (I'm actually a RB/LB) but I would recomment the Cutters Pro-Fit Receiver Glove...they retain grip even when wet and they come in color schemes that no other manufacturers offer. I also got a chance to try a pair of Reebok Speed Grip Reciever Gloves this past week...they're nice too...they have this new "Griptonite" Technology on there that keeps the palms dry even when the gloves are wet...I'd still go with the Cutters Pro-Fit Receivers gloves, simply because they look better than anything Nike has to offer and also because the palm is grippier. For a less expensive alternative...try Reebok's X-Treme Grip II gloves.

A lot of times the same socks that soccer and baseball players use work just fine. So just go to your local sporting goods store. Or you could try a local Finish Line or Foot Locker, see if they have 'em.

same reason that a hockey goalie has pads.  they have 90 mph objects thrown or hit at them and they dont want to die.  would you want to have just a glove when a power pitcher throws that had at you?  basically for protection and they are most prone to injury on every play

tradition\njust like when they hit their sticks against the goalie's pads \nafter he makes a good save. that was originally done to make the pads bigger, because when they were made of leather in the earlie days, htey would shrink after absorbing water(from the ice)

1. No Hands, please \n\nI bet you knew that one. Most people who know nothing about soccer still know that you aren’t supposed to use your hands unless you’re the goalie. \n\nA couple of points to clarify. \n\nFirst, the rule for a hand ball includes using any part of the body from the tips of the fingers to the shoulder. \n\nSecond, the proper way to look at this soccer rule is that a player cannot “handle” the ball. A ball that is kicked and hits a player’s hand or arm is not a hand ball. This means that the referee must use his or her own judgment to some extent in determining whether or not a hand ball is accidental contact or a purposeful attempt to gain an advantage. \n\nBelieve it or not, there is also a situation in which the goalie cannot use his/her hands. This is sometimes called the back-pass rule. Goalkeepers cannot pick up a pass that came directly from one of their teammates. In this case, the goalkeeper must use his feet. Infraction of this soccer rule will result in an indirect kick from the point of the infraction. \n\n2. Throw-ins \n\nA throw-in is taken when the ball crosses a sideline and leaves the field. The two basic soccer rules for a proper throw-in are to have both feet on the ground and to throw the ball with both hands over the head. \n\nFor teaching purposes it is common to allow players under the age of 8 to take more than 1 attempt. \n\n3. Corner Kicks & Goal Kicks \n\nA corner kick or goal kick is taken when the ball leaves the field across the endline – you know, the end of the field.  \n\nIf the offensive team kicks it out, play is restarted with a goal kick. If the defensive team kicks it out, play is restarted with a corner kick. \n\nThe goal kick is taken from anywhere inside the “goalie box” as it is affectionately called. It can be taken by any player, not just the goalkeeper. \n\nThe corner kick is taken from – yes, you guessed it – the corner nearest to where the ball left the field. \n\nYou may be confused at times in youth soccer games to see a goal kick retaken. This is because the FIFA soccer rules state that the ball is not back “in play” until it leaves the penalty area, the large box outside of the “goalie box”. No one can touch the ball until it leaves the penalty area, and if the ball is not kicked properly to leave the area, the kick must be retaken. \n\n4. Fouls \n\nThe common rule of thumb on fouls is “If it looks like a foul, it probably is.” \n\nToo true. A player cannot kick, trip, jump at, charge, strike, push, hold, or spit at an opponent. \n\nSo what’s the problem? \n\nSoccer can be a physical, contact sport when two opposing players both want the soccer ball and no parent likes it when little Johnny loses the ball and ends up on the ground! \n\n“Foul!” cries the parent. “Little Johnny was pushed!” \n\nWhat you need to know as a parent is that bumping or going shoulder-to-shoulder while competing for a ball is not a foul until the hands or elbows come up. This is a bit of a judgment call and not all referees will call it the same way. Some soccer rules are actually not black-and-white. \n\nRemember though, the referee is ALWAYS right. \n\n5. Direct and Indirect Free Kicks \n\nThe simple difference between the two is this: On a direct kick you can score by kicking the ball directly into the goal. On an indirect kick you cannot score. An indirect kick must be touched by another player before it can go into the goal – that is the kicker and a second person. \n\nAs a parent on the sideline, you can tell whether the kick is direct or indirect by looking at the referee. For an indirect kick, the referee will hold one arm straight up in the air until the second person touches the ball. No arm up, it’s a direct kick. \n\nThere are many soccer rules around what causes a direct or indirect kick. \n\nIn general, a direct kick comes from a contact foul or hand ball. Everything else is indirect. \n\n6. Penalty Kick \n\nA penalty kick r

Glove, Softball for at home, cleats, batting golves, sliding pads.\nBats are optional because the team usually has a few different types to chose from.

TPX makes a good bat, and wilson makes a good glove.....a lot of gloves are made for certain positions also, if you didn't already know that.....do a little online research and find out what the pros use and i'd say that's a safe bet...

First what position do you play?\nForward- Probably the Nike Mercurial Vapor IIs because the new ones are almost 1 oz heavier and forwards need speed.  You can find tons of these on ebay\nMidfielder- Nike Air Zoom total 90 III\nDefense- New Adidas Predator Absolute (dont buy the all red ones)\nGoalkeeper- Either Adidas Predator Absolute or Nike Tiempo Air Zoom Legend.  \nP.S.  Buy both Firm Ground and Soft Grounds for differing field conditions.  Try to buy the same FG and SG boot.  All of these and more can be found on soccer.com or ebay.com

I personally have been playing volleyball for a long time and i have tried over half a dozen different kinds of kneepads. I find that the best pair are Mizuno VS-1. They are not as bulky as some but they provide excellent protection. I have knee problems and i think that these pair work the best with providing protection especially when sprawling. good luck <3 :D

Brown make the best and the lightest goalie equipment,period. I have a pair of EXCEL pads they weigh 4 LBS each and donot soak up any moisture so they stay at that weight,they provide the best protection at the best price. Their gloves are great and their chest arm pads are without equal. I know from experience.

what's the purpose of the gloves

There really is no "effective shot". Too many factors involved. I could have a super fast slapshot and it could get blocked before reaching the net. I mean people are saying wrister, slapshot, snapshot... but what about a redirection? Talk about what a goalie has less a chance of reacting too. If you want to be silly about it a shot at an open goal is the most effective!
