I've been wanting to drive and I'm 15. So my stepmom finally let me move the truck from the driveway to the street. Well this gay neighbor starts yelling and asking if im a licensed driver and saying I hit a fire hydrant. Which I didn't. And said he is gonna call the cops. What will happen?
well they tend to bring it on themselves. Oh and hey, nothing wrong with ratty ;)
well mouthguard is mandatory anyway, extra stuff i would say gloves if you want, maybe even a back flap to protect from accidental spinal injuries. I would say skip out on wearing a cup since you are playing defense you wont have to worry about people taking shots at you in a pile, and it slows you down.
no rib pads, they'll slow you down. you can wear gloves if you want, make it easier to intercept the ball
I think you should talk to them about the seriousness of what they are doing. However grounding them is taking it a bit too far.
Really at safety you want as little extra gear as possible to keep you fast and mobile. Being on defense as well really all you would maybe want would be gloves almost a must have anymore maybe some sort of padded gloves like cutters and a cup at the most. No rib or back pads they just slow you down. If you want a visor it isn't really gonna keep you an safer and they can actually be a problem with rain and sweat. But some people like them anyway.
