Douglas AJC-BP Back Plate

This back plate is specifically engineered for the Douglas Junior Custom Pro Series shoulder pads. While it may physically attach to other pads, we recommend sticking to the intended series to ensure the mounting hardware aligns correctly and provides the intended level of protection.

The back plate features multiple grommet holes that allow you to raise or lower the position of the plate relative to your shoulder pads. Simply unbolt the attachment straps and re-secure them through the set of holes that best aligns with the player's lower back.

Yes, the one-size design is tailored for the specific dimensions of junior-sized shoulder pads. Because it offers vertical adjustability via the grommet holes, it can be positioned to provide appropriate coverage for a wide range of youth athletes.

No, the customization options for the cushion and bias are purely aesthetic. The structural integrity and protective materials remain consistent regardless of the color combination you choose.

A back plate provides critical coverage for the lower spine and kidney area, which are often exposed during full-contact play. It acts as an additional layer of impact absorption to help protect against hits from behind.
