However, air travel rules when traveling with sports equipment allow these items including any sharp objects in the checked baggage. Provided they are securely wrapped to protect the Security Officers and baggage handlers from injury.

They are at there to serve as well as protect you and your family during air travel to keep the premises safe and secure. They make sure that all preventive measures against life threatening situations related to air travel are imposed fairly and equally.

    I purchased these for the high school team I coach. I had to replace the old ones I had. My team likes the way they fit. They are easy to get on and off. These are nicer and have a new updated look so the players dont feel so weird wearing them. Every team needs to use them for dribbling drills. They really help.

    There are perfect for training youth ball-handling skills. My kids both use them on their own time and with their teams. Gets kids in the habit of looking down the court and not at the floor. You can adjust them to fit all sizes.

    We love this item. Very helpful for my 11year old son. Didn’t realize how much he looked down.
