The Essential Guide to Safety, Comfort, and Performance for Players

Head injuries are a severe concern of cricket, and they aren’t just limited to the players on the field. Cricket is a beloved sport around the world. The popularity of cricket has grown in recent years, and it isn’t hard to see why! Cricket can be played by anyone – from professionals who play for national teams to kids playing at school. In addition to being an enjoyable pastime for all ages, cricket also provides a fantastic opportunity for exercise and socializing with friends. That said, many rules need to be followed when participating in this game of skill like in soccer you have a rule of offsides in soccer – one of which is safety gear such as helmets and neck protection gear like pads or guards. This guide will furnish you with insights into what type of equipment you should wear while playing cricket so that you can stay safe on the field!

The Western Sports Centre offers a wide range of services and products to help you stay safe, comfortable and perform at your best. From the latest sports gear to nutritional supplements, from physical therapy to massage therapy, we are here for you! 

Why should everyone use helmets?

Helmets are a vital section of safety equipment for any individual who participates in sports. This includes soccer, football, hockey, lacrosse and many more. A helmet will protect the head from injury and provide comfort to the wearer by absorbing some of the shock absorbed by their skull during a fall or collision. 

How to choose a suitable helmet for your sport?

Sport is a significant part of our lives. It’s how we practice, it’s how we compete, and it’s how we connect with others. Western Sports Centre has been in the sport for over 50 years and now specializes in sporting goods equipment, both retail and wholesale. We all want to get the best protection for our heads, but how do you choose the correct helmet? Do you go with a skateboard helmet or a bike helmet? The answer is both! With so many different types of helmets available, it can be hard to find which one will work best for your needs. And sometimes, just because they are designed for different sports doesn’t mean that they don’t overlap in features.

Here is the thing to look at before buying:

-Size: The helmet should fit snugly on your head with no gaps and not be too tight. You can measure the circumference of your head by using cloth tape to get the widest part of your head. Let’s say you measured 24 inches around; that means you would need a size large or extra-large bike helmet.

-Adjustments: All helmets have adjustments in their straps to stay securely in place while riding. It is also essential to make sure these are correctly adjusted before wearing them for any sports activity. If there is slack created when making an impact, this could lead to serious injury such as abrasions, lacerations, or even worse! Western Sport Centre has various helmets for all age groups and abilities, so be sure to check out the helmet section before you buy!

-Visor: The visor is essential in addition to simply keeping the rain off your face. It will also protect you from glare coming from the sun or lights that may impair your vision while playing. Keep an eye on this piece as well when fitting it correctly because if there are gaps between the top or back part of the head and where the visors sit, then these could cause injury; either abrasions/lacerations by sticking out too far, or worse still impact-related injuries due to not protecting players adequately enough. Western Sports Centre’s helmets come with extra protection along those lines, which means they’re perfect for various ages and abilities.

– Chin Protector: This piece is what makes the difference between protection from knocks to your mouth, neck or chin when playing cricket. Western Sports Centre’s helmets come with this as standard, so it won’t be necessary to purchase separately — though if players don’t have one already, they should take that into account before making their purchase!
