A sports pad for use by a contact sports player, such as a football player, provides a protective pad which improves the ability of the wearer of the sports pad to hold on to a ball, such as a football. The sports pad includes a tubular member which defines first and second opposed open ends and has a padded section. A high friction surface is provided on the tubular member, which extends from the first open end to the second open end and at least over a non-padded section of the tubular member. Preferably, the high friction surface is formed form a high friction material, such as vinyl material, a PVC material, a rubber material, a neoprene material, or a latex material. The high friction surface may include projections formed from the high friction material.
