How to Choose a Field Hockey Starter Kit
A starter kit is the simplest way to get a new player ready for their first practice. To choose one:
- Check the stick length against the player's height using the chart below.
- Check what's included. Most kits include a stick, shin guards, a bag and balls. Some add goggles.
- Add what's missing. Nearly every league requires a mouthguard, and US high-school play requires ASTM-certified goggles. You will also need turf shoes and socks.
- Pick a kit for the player's commitment. Wood or fiberglass sticks suit trial seasons. Kits with a composite stick suit players who will train several times a week.
