Can I use Storelli gear for sports other than soccer?

Last updated on Apr 03, 2026

Storelli gear is engineered for soccer. But the protection works anywhere impact and abrasion are part of the game.


Where Customers Use Storelli

Our gear was designed for the pitch, and that's where it performs best. That said, athletes in other sports regularly use Storelli products for the same reasons goalkeepers do: impact absorption, turf-burn prevention, and body protection during high-intensity play.

Sports where Storelli gear is commonly used:

  • Lacrosse. Players wear BodyShield undershirts and leggings for padding under uniforms.

  • Field hockey. Goalkeepers and field players use our GK leggings and sliders for dive and slide protection.

  • Basketball. Head guards are worn by players returning from concussions or looking for head protection on the hardwood.

  • Figure skating. Parents use our head guards for young skaters transitioning away from helmets.

  • Ice hockey. BodyShield leggings and sliders are used to supplement existing padding, especially for calf and thigh protection.

  • Rugby and flag football. Impact protection for training and games.


What to Know

  • Our sizing, testing, and design are soccer-specific. The gear works across sports, but the fit and padding placement are optimized for soccer movements (diving, sliding, heading).

  • Head guards. The ExoShield Head Guard was tested by the Virginia Tech Helmet Lab and demonstrated an 84% reduction in risk of head injuries. That testing was conducted in a soccer context, but the protection is relevant any time your head is exposed to impact.

  • Compression fit still applies. Whether you're using the gear for soccer or another sport, it should fit snug. Check the size guide on each product page.


Our Recommendation

If you're considering Storelli for a non-soccer sport, think about what protection you need and where. Our product pages describe exactly which body zones each product covers and what type of protection it provides (impact, abrasion, or both).
