- Goalkeeper gloves should be worn 1" to 1.5" longer than the length of your fingers
- Larger gloves provide increased ball blocking ability and grip.
- To determine your glove size:
- Measure the circumference of the widest part of the palm
- Do not include the thumb
- Round this number up to the next highest inch, and then add 1" to the measurement
- Example:
- If your palm (excluding the thumb) measures 6 3/4", round that number up to 7"
- Add 1" to the measurement, which gives you 8"
- So, a 6 3/4" plam measurement woudl require an 8" glove.
- Remember:
- Measure both hands and use the larger measurement
- The gloves should feel snug, but have that extra space in the fingers
