You have several different types of football equipment. You have equipment for the staff and then you have the equipment for the players. Equipment for the players can be divided into personal and training. As for the staff, the coaches need to be able to communicate with each other. That is why many coaches wear headsets. As for the main coach, they need to have a playbook or something to write their plays down. This is important to coaches because they need to adapt to every situation and scene. During practice, they need to be equipment with whistles to begin and end plays or drills. Lastly, for the staff, they are usually equipped with a uniform or shirt to be distinguished.

As for the players, they get the most of the equipment. First, their personal equipment consists of many different things. They get a uniform. Their uniform is complete from shirt to pants to helmet. They will always be provided a helmet for the season. This is for their own protection. Finally, they need to be supplied pads to protect them. Shoulder pads and kneepads are just a few areas that need to be protected during a rough football game.

The team usually supplies cleats unless it is a small high school team and then they usually have to purchase them their selves. Next, the training equipment. There is practicing equipment for offense and then defense has their own drills to run and their own equipment. As for the whole team, the team usually will practice tackles with dummies or use pads to practice pushes.

The coach of the team with make up his own pattern of drills and that will determine what will be needed. Most football coaches rather they are high school or pro, will make their athletes lift weights. By lifting weights players can gain muscle mass and become disciplined.

A full gym is usually supplied to schools to have added their students and players in keeping in shape and getting in shape for the next season. They are usually public gyms, but sometimes a gym room for just football players will be located near their locker room or in the field house. It is important that all players are well supplied with fitness weights or other equipment so that their playing skills can be the best.

On other hand a professional competition like NFL is played across America for the Super Bowl Championship title. Football can be a very aggressive game that often causes players serious injury, but going pro has its perks. Just like other sports professional players get paid millions dollars per season and get better equipment.
