Game Day Essentials For Your Next Football Match

It’s match day and you’re ready to play against your biggest local rival, a friendly neighbourhood team, or as part of a football tournament. But packing your football kit comes first. Ensuring you have all the essentials will be important in making sure you can play to the best of your ability. These must have game day essentials for women, recommended by the team at Miss Kick, shouldn’t be missed. 

The Perfect Football Kit Bag 

First things first, find yourself a decent-sized kit bag. Having room for all your essentials makes all the difference when carrying your kit around on match day. A bag too big will become a nuisance but a bag too small will leave you with your hands full. 

Second, you should consider a storage and carry solution for your football boots. Since these will likely get muddy, having a separate compartment or bag for them will save the rest of your kit from getting dirty. Football kit bags with built in boot compartments are the most practical solution for keeping everything in one place. 

Women’s Football Kit Essentials 

Once you’re ready to pack your bag, you’ll need to remember each element of your kit to guarantee you are covered for each and every situation. 

Whether you know you’re on the team sheet or not, packing your kit is of course essential. Ensuring you have the relevant team kit packed and ready to go is the first step in packing your bag. Followed by your base layers for extra support and warmth and joggers and a training jacket, if it’s set to be a cold day. Packing a showerproof training jacket is the perfect addition to your kit bag if you’re on the bench and a downpour is likely, or you’ve got an early start and want some additional rain and wind protection. 

For your pre-match warm up you may also want to pack some training shorts or leggings, so you can keep your kit clean and fresh for on-pitch play. 

Extra Football Accessories

In addition to the obvious kit and extra clothing items, accessories and little extras won’t go a miss. A smaller wash kit or wash bag is perfect for all the essential toiletries you will need to freshen up post-match. A good sized wash bag will have room for everything from your hair products to your deodorant, makeup and more. Other accessories you can’t forget include your sports headband for pulling back your long hair, your water bottle, extra socks, and if you fancy a warm beverage a travel mug. 

All these items will have you well-prepared for big games this upcoming football season!
