Children's goalkeeper gloves Reusch
A pioneer in goalkeeper gloves, the Reusch brand also outfits the youngest players. The children's goalkeeper gloves Reusch all belong to the Attrakt range, from the Starter model designed for beginners to the Gold X with highly grippy latex, including Finger Support versions with integrated struts to protect the fingers.
The Attrakt range, tailored for juniors.
Reusch, pioneer of the goalkeeper gloves since Metzingen
The story begins in 1934 when Karl Reusch made his first pair of gloves in the attic of his home in Metzingen, Germany. In the early 1970s, the brand developed one of the first goalkeeper gloves with Sepp Maier, the legendary Bayern Munich and West Germany goalkeeper, whose latex palm changed the way to catch the ball. Since then, Reusch has established itself as a specialist in the position and offers in its Attrakt junior range the technologies of its adult models: same latex families, same cuts, and same backhand grips, simply scaled down to the size of a child's hand.
Compare Reusch to other junior brands
The Children's goalkeeper gloves page allows you to put the Attrakt alongside all other junior gloves before making your choice. For a brand-by-brand comparison, adidas offers its most well-known junior families, Uhlsport a wide range of foams, Rinat unique cuts from Mexico, and T1TAN bold designs. Once size 7 is exceeded, the adult Attrakt, with the same Gold X, Infinity, or Solid latex, await your teen on the Reusch adult page.
Gold X, Infinity, or Solid: the right latex for Reusch juniors
At Reusch, the name of the glove indicates the latex. The Gold X, very soft and tacky, is aimed at the junior goalkeeper who wants maximum grip, on grass as well as synthetic, even if that means replacing their pair more often. The Infinity and the Resist are formulated to withstand the abrasion of synthetic pitches and hard surfaces, making them suitable for long training weeks. The foam Solid, featured on the Attrakt Starter Solid, prioritises durability for discovering the position on all terrains. Finally, the Freegel does not refer to the palm but to a soft and breathable backhand that is forgotten during the match.
Evolution NC cut and Finger Support bars at Reusch
The references followed by NC, like the Attrakt Infinity Evolution NC, adopt Reusch's Evolution negative cut: the latex wraps around the fingertips and the seams are on the inside, for a glove that fits snugly and maximises the contact area with the ball. It requires a precise size, especially since Reusch already fits close to the hand. The Finger Support versions, from the Attrakt Solid to the Attrakt Freegel Gold X, feature fixed bars on all five fingers: they limit backward bending without hindering the closing of the hand, a safety appreciated by parents of a child discovering diving.
Renewing Reusch junior gloves without breaking the bank
Reusch regularly updates its Attrakt colours, making older models more affordable. For a Christmas gift, look from Black Friday and during the holiday season in the Kids Promotions. The winter sales coincide with when the autumn palm begins to wear out, then come the French Days for kids, summer sales, and the return to training: the outgoing colours then join the Clearance section.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do Reusch gloves fit small?
Yes, Reusch is known to fit a little closer to the hand than average, especially on negative cuts. Measure your child's hand circumference at the knuckles, excluding the thumb, and if the result falls between two sizes, choose the larger one.
From what level should one choose a Reusch Gold X?
The Gold X is aimed at a young goalkeeper who plays regularly in a club and catches a lot, as its very soft latex wears out quickly. For a beginner, an Attrakt Starter Solid or an Infinity model would be more durable and more than sufficient.
Can Reusch gloves be machine washed?
It's better to avoid it: the drum and spinning can damage the latex and deform the bars. Wash them by hand in warm water with a little gentle soap, rinse well, and then let them dry flat in the open air.
Is a Reusch Infinity suitable for futsal?
Indoors, the hard surface wears the palm out faster than grass: a model Infinity or Resist, whose latex is more resistant to abrasion, is the logical choice. A glove that is soft also helps to maintain a good feel on a futsal ball, which is heavier and has a low bounce.
Where is Reusch headquartered today?
Born in Baden-Württemberg, the brand established its headquarters in Bolzano, the capital of South Tyrol, in 2017. It remains true to its two historical specialities, ski gloves and goalkeeper gloves.
