The Starter. Why It’s the Perfect Guard for Every Young Aussie
If you are like me, my memories of wearing a mouthguard as a child are less than pleasant. Bulky, clunky, poorly fit pieces of plastic that would sit in my mouth during softball or soccer, making me gag and distracting me from the game. I couldn’t talk with them in, I could hardly breathe and they were always digging into my gums and uncomfortable places around my mouth. Every time I would open my jaw, the guard would fall out. Any chance I’d get I’d take my mouthguard out and was always trying to think of ways to get out...

Mouthguards in Softball and Baseball
Softball and baseball are both great summer sports. Whilst they are certainly more popular in America, that’s not to say that the sport doesn’t have a significant following and playing base in Australia. Whilst neither of these sports are high contact sports, there is still a necessity for a guard to be worn throughout the entire duration of the game. But with balls being pitched and hit at high speeds a huge risk of injury arrises too. Let's not forget about how much harder a softball or baseball is compared to a footy or soccer ball. When I was a...
