Medical bags for football clubs

What is a football medical bag?

A medical bag is a container designed to transport and organise the care materials for a football team. It typically includes several compartments to store bandages, cold or heat packs, and small first aid supplies separately. Coaches and team medics use it during matches as well as training, to respond quickly in the event of an injury.

What types of medical bags can be found in the catalogue?

The catalogue features bags and first aid kits of different sizes and capacities, from a junior bag designed for youth categories to more comprehensive bags aimed at senior teams. Some models come as a single bag for you to fill yourself, while others are pre-filled first aid kits. The brands featured, Sporti, Stanno, Errea, and Precision, each offer their own sizes and organisational systems.

How to choose your medical bag?

The choice primarily depends on the size of the team being managed: a junior bag is often sufficient for a youth team, whereas a senior club with multiple training sessions a week will look for a larger format or a complete pharmaceutical kit. It's also important to consider the number of compartments, which is useful for separating cold products, heat products, and bandages, as well as the durability of the materials if the bag is often transported.

Bandages, cold and heat products: the other pages of the care section

The medical bag is filled with other care products available on the site, organised in dedicated pages:

• The bandages, useful for supporting or protecting a joint after an impact.
• The cold products, to be used in case of a bruise or inflammation with cold therapy.
• The heat products, designed for muscle warming.

Find all these categories on the Care page, which includes all the equipment for team medics.

Where to find the best deals on medical bags?

The prices of medical bags and first aid kits vary depending on the site's promotional activities. The Espace Club deals page and the Espace Club sales page group the current offers in this category. At the site level, also remember to check during Black Friday, the holiday season, the winter sales, and the French Days in spring, which are times when prices fluctuate the most. The Sales, Clearance, Best Deals, Black Friday, and Special Offers pages should be checked regularly. If you're looking for a bag that is available quickly, the Shipped within 24 hours page can help, as can the New Arrivals page to discover the latest models added to the catalogue.

Frequently Asked Questions

Choose an empty medical bag or a pre-filled kit: which one?

An empty bag allows you to compile your own contents based on the real needs of your team, reusing equipment already present at the club. A pre-filled kit, like a pharmaceutical kit or a first aid kit, is better suited if you're starting to manage a team without existing materials.

What’s the difference between a junior medical bag and a standard medical bag?

A junior medical bag is typically more compact, suitable for the smaller squads of youth categories and shorter sessions. A standard medical bag offers more compartments and capacity, designed to support a senior team throughout a season.

Can the same bag be used for several teams in the club?

Yes, a medical bag can be shared between several teams in the same club, as long as the gear is organised by compartment to avoid confusion. Clubs managing multiple squads often opt for a larger format or several intermediate-sized bags.

Is a medical bag needed for training or just for matches?

A medical bag is still useful right from training, particularly for quickly addressing an impact or muscular discomfort before it worsens. Many clubs keep a dedicated training bag in addition to the one used on match days.

How to care for a club medical bag?

A medical bag should be regularly cleaned, especially after being used outdoors or in damp conditions, to maintain the compartments and closures. It's also advisable to periodically check the contents, as some items like compresses or bandages have a limited shelf life.
