Is wearing an athletic supporter mandatory in high school soccer?
I played soccer for almost 13 years from about age 5 through high school. Wearing a youth athletic supporter was usually reccomended during the younger years and required equipment by high school. By “required” I mean that the school required that you had one physically available, not that anyone really checked to make sure you were wearing it during practice or games. In my experience many players chose to wear them, myself included. Anyone ever hit in the groin by a soccer ball will tell you why. My experience covers 4-years of varsity soccer at a public high school in the northeast US. I imagine however other schools and regions may have different requirements.
