Senior sizing for adults and older juniors.
The Blue Sports Compression Longsleeve Shirt is a light-compression base layer meant to be worn under shoulder and elbow pads. Polyester and spandex pull sweat off the skin, and the anatomical cut keeps the fabric lying flat instead of bunching under gear. It is the simplest fix for a player whose elbow pads keep sliding down an arm.
That is what the silicone grip on the arms is for. It sits where an elbow pad clamps, and it holds the pad where you set it rather than letting it travel. The difference shows up most on younger players, whose arms are still thinner than the gear they are wearing. Light compression means it hugs without squeezing, so it goes on without a fight and does not fight back when you reach.
Fit
It comes in black, long sleeve, in youth, junior and senior listings. Size it to your usual snug base layer size. A compression top is supposed to sit against the skin, so going up for comfort defeats the point and loses the grip on the arms.
