My son is 7 years old and playing flag football. He likes it but says it hurts his arms when he catches the ball. I am really trying to help him so he can get better as he is getting discouraged. Has anyone used forearm pads for this reason? What kind of arm pads could I use? Will the arm pads work since I can only find them with padding on outside of arms? Would compression sleeves work? I appreciate any help you can give me. Thank you in advance!
