Equipment and Safety
Safety whilst playing is of fundamental importance. The club has spare hockey sticks for players to borrow. All players are strongly recommended to wear shin pads and mouth guards at all training sessions. We also recommend wearing gloves.

The game is only safe if the players play in the correct manner and listen to instruction from the qualified coaching staff.
