yes
ans by simiyes its needed for a football player to wear jockstrap

Need? Likely. But, jock straps have fallen out of favor for compression shorts and Under Amour has become the biggie because they offer boxer jocks and other forms of support other than the bare-bottom jock straps of old.
I'd wear a cup too just because football is hard-hitting and you just never know where or when a flying knee or football cleet is going to seek-out your package.
Yes.
Bo Jackson was an American football and baseball player. His jersey number was the number 8 when he played for the Chicago White Sox.

Flozell Adams, formerly of the Dallas Cowboys played from 1998-2009 wearing number 76. Lou Groza, a 1974 Pro football hall of fame inductee, also wore the number. He was a member of the Cleveland Browns and has been voted the best athlete to ever wear the number by bestbythenumbers.com.

Someone playing basketball would just need a regular jockstrap, with a pouch for support. There are youth sizes available for preteens.

NO.
Absolutely. My coach sent kids home if they didn't have one. Unfortunately not all high school football players wear a jockstrap. Keep in mind the difference between a jockstrap and a cup/cup supporter or cup jock. As players go from youth leagues into high school fewer of them wear a cup and supporter and more go to wearing a regular jockstrap. As a supplier of performance and protective apparel to schools and leagues I have seen an increase in the number of schools providing, requiring, or at least recommending that players wear a jockstrap in the last couple of years (it had been on a decline for 15 years). A jockstrap is the single most important piece of performance/protective apparel a football player can wear. A jockstrap will provide support and proper positioning for the testicles. A jockstrap is much cooler that cotton underwear or even compression shorts and harbors much less bacteria than underwear. Although a regular jockstrap will not prevent injury from a direct impact, it will reduce the damage done from such an impact by the fact that it keeps the testicle in the right position to retract into the abdoman minimizing damage. A jockstrap will increase testosterone production and thus adrenaline levels by maximizing blood flow and efficiency in the testes. As far as the schools and leagues I deal with I would guestimate that about 30-35% of high school players wear a jock, 60-70% of college football players and 80+% of pro players. Cup and cup supporters are probably at less than 5% of high school football players, 30-35% of middle school/junior high players and close to 50% of youth league (it is 50% of the teams require them not 50% on each team wear them-when required-those teams have better than 80% of the players wearing them). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- But i disagree, i play high school football and im a sophomore. Well i remember in middle school coach said "i did not wear one we can't make you wear one " So i never wore one, but its at your own risk. You either wear it and feel uncomfortable and safe or dont wear one and be faster. I remember in pee wee we had to wear one but coaches don't make you.
Yes. Yes he does.
Most swimmers just wear Speedo or Speedo-like swimming suits. Some swimmers wear a "swimmers jockstrap" too. A "swimmers jockstrap" has a narrow 1-inch waist-band, which is smaller than the standard 3-inch waist-band of a standard jockstrap. The narrower 1-inch waistband will not reveal the jockstrap as much and the jockstrap waist-band will stay under the swimming suit. However, male swimmers who want to show a bigger "package" may chose to wear a cup-jockstrap under their swimming suit to enhance their masculine appearance. But they don't really need the protection of a cup when they are swimming. So it is all a mater of personal preference.
I wear it inside of my underwear. this gives me more supprot and somewhat comfortable. I just wear the jockstrap. just wear the strap When it is hot in the summertime or in the south it is better to just wear the jockstrap by itself.

It would be a good idea to wear one for working out, running, or phys ed class. You probably wouldn't need one for everyday activities.
