THE STICK
THE STICK
According to Longstreth.com, "There is not an exact science when it comes to choosing the correct length of a field hockey stick. Players have different preferences based on their level of play and what feels best to them. The most common method by which a stick can be chosen is based on a height chart."

GOGGLES
GOGGLES
All legal eyewear for competition must be permanently labeled with the ASTM 2713 stamp to meet NFHS standard. Field hockey goggles must have the front vertical bars.
📣For those new to the sport, if you are already in possession of lacrosse goggles that's fine. It is not until one becomes competitive that we would ask you to make the financial investment in field hockey goggles.
