Hey the best thing for shin splints is plain rest and to get off of them. Shin splints are merely stress fractures. The atletic trainers can wrap your ankles to help relieve some of the pain. During the off season you need to make sure that you rest your legs properly. The best way to stay in shape is to get on a stationary bike. At the start of next season two weeks prior to your first game start streching and getting them ready. Sorry guys but I have to say it. LOSE SOME WEIGHT if you need to. Now that you have them the best way to relief some of the pressure is to ice them for 20 minutes after a game. Before a game get them warm before you really get going on them. Hair dryer, shower, hot tub, hot pad, or anything else that you can think of. Then get a good strech. Good luck
