SILVER ELITE
With quad and hamstring injuries common in youth soccer, curious what others have used and like for strains. Rest, elevation, cold, then heat and therapy are normally needed as well but coming back to the pitch many recommend these item - What do you like, brands, etc?

2XU makes some high end compression clothing that is very supportive and expensive. As a player myself I use this brand and prefer it when playing.

Do they keep the heat in like neoprene? I hear sleeves have less restrictions than shorts? Is this not accurate?

They offer a high quality material that compresses the muscle. Heat is adequate. Neoprene (sleeve) tend to keep heat isolated to the area, but as you know move and require constant adjustment. They may not necessarily compress the muscle as you would like. There are some brands that also offer a compression short with neoprene wraps.
 
I am not sure that you should play on a strain or a sprain, but if you are looking for a quality product checkout the Storellis. I would think the sliders would provide some compression, a little heat retention and the added bonus of some padding. My daughter is a goalie and swears by them.
