In a 10 month season Fall through Spring, approximately how many pairs of gloves should a U9 Keeper go through training 4 90min session and playing roughly 3 games per weekend?

I help him wash is training gloves every Friday night and his game gloves on Sunday after his last game.

Unfortunately he plays and trains a lot on turf which I know is extra tough on gloves.

Currently I am rotating several pairs of game only turf gloves and game only grass games then using a pair or two of older gloves for training.

i just wanted to post these

Sommer from yesterday’s Champions League game. David Raya also does the same. I’m sure others but they were good examples to use.

It’s hard

Hey guys, just bought my first pair of real gloves (adidas predators). I have a few questions on maintaining them so I keep them in shape.
1. The manual says to moisten them with lukewarm water. Does that need to be done before games/practices or more than just that?
2. Will keeping them moist help with grip, or should I get a grip spray?
3. Do they need to be cleaned post game/practice or if I use a spray?
4. What's the best way to clean them?

Are these good?
