'I'm a grassroots goalie's mum and these are my top essential kit list picks'

The quality of One Glove's goalkeeper gloves have been put to the test in our household over a number of years and have stood the test of time.

There are loads of colours and designs to choose from and they come in several sizes for both kids and adults.

If the brand is good enough for Premier League goalkeepers, then it's good enough for my son!

One Glove says: 'Built from the ground up for the modern day goalkeeper, the GEO 3.0 is our most ergonomic, lightweight, and elite glove to date.

'Iconic geometric design. Advanced materials. Innovative features. It all collides and fuses right here, birthing a refined second skin that delivers a supreme feel and connection with the ball.

'Flexible, breathable, comfortable. A heavy hitter in an ultra lightweight form factor that means you focus on one thing only. Your game.'

Currently, there's an offer on to receive a free glove towel with every order.

In a hurry? Order before 12 noon for same day dispatch.

If your child wants to develop their football skills, this rebounder – used by top clubs including Real Madrid – is a brilliant gift idea. There are two sides to choose from: one gives a consistent rebound, great for practicing volleys or repetition drills.

The other side has wider mesh so it’s completely unpredictable where the ball will go. This makes it great for goalkeepers and players, as they have to work on their reactions. It’s small, and packs down flat, meaning it’s ideal for gardens of all sizes, and is easy to store. The set comes with a rebounder size 5 football.

I actually like these so much, I might have worn them myself! (Just don't tell my son!)

Apparently, I'm told by my son these socks, which also come in black, really stop your feet slipping in your boots when you're on the pitch.

Pair with a football sleeve sock to cover their shinpads.

One Glove says: 'New and improved for 23/24! 🙌 An enhanced material now means more comfort, elasticity and overall feel. 

'It’s not just our gloves that stick! Our all new Lock Socks grip the inside of your boot, locking your foot down and helping avoid internal foot slippage.'

When you've invested in a new pair of gloves, the last thing you want to do is ruin them by not washing them properly, or by using the wrong ingredients, which could wreck them.

This glove rescue foam is easy to use, non-sticky and easily removes the mud build up after the game.

It's an added expense, but it's worth it to protect the gloves.

One Glove says: 'Bring your gloves back to life and enhance the longevity of your goalkeeper gloves with our premium goalkeeper glove wash.

'Our foam is a specifically formulated solution for the latex palms of your gloves, meaning it eliminates any unnecessary or damaging properties typically associated with traditional soap or detergent.'

Does your teen want to take their football training to the next level? This clever Pivo Pod makes it super easier for them to film themselves as they train or play solo.

All they need to do is put their smartphone in the tracking mount, connect with Bluetooth and they’ve got their personal camera operator. It uses face and body tracking so you don’t have to stand there and do the filming!

The Pivo Pod has 360 degrees rotation and six speed modes so can catch them dribbling down the wing or taking a shot. Your teen can then analyse their performance, or share with their friends on TikTok. 

Since buying this at the end of last summer, not a week has gone by where we've not used it.

Previously my son's boots used to smell if I left them to dry on their own, even if they were left on a radiator.

Now I wash them, pop them on the dryer and in no time at all they are dry and fresh.

It genuinely is a gamechanger and I wish I'd discovered it sooner.

This is another winter lifesaver, especially for training sessions on cold, dark, winter nights.

There's nothing worse than having a cold neck and mouth, but this adjustable, fleecy neck warmer will keep your little one warm.

My son loves it so much, he even wears it to school!

We love this because it protects our children!

Any parent of a grassroots goalie will know they spend more time on the floor than they do on their feet.

And while we're proud of every dive they make, we worry about the bruises they will inevitably end up with.

This is why I feel better when my goalie son has a protective base layer on, especially in this awful February weather.

This top has padded shoulders and elbows and is lightweight, elasticated and flexible.

It means my son doesn't ache for hours after a game, and that is priceless!

They're designed to protect, but they're also really stylish.

It's actually a shame they're a base layer, as they're super smart and look great as outerwear, but they get covered by the kit!

These trousers have definitely saved my son from an injury or two.

Never mix up your boot bag again, with this personalised bag from Amazon.

Make cleaning your child's boots really easy with this well-designed boot buddy.

Use one end to scrape the mud off and the brush end to clean the boot.

Amazon says: 'The ultimate shoe brush and boot cleaner, is your go-to solution for quickly tackling dirt on all types of muddy footwear, including golf shoes, football and rugby boots, running shoes, and walking boots, wherever you go.'
