A well-chosen size is the foundation \u2014 a stick that is too long ruins your posture and dribbling, one that is too short forces you to hunch. Below you will find the rules for choosing stick length and tips for protection and footwear sizes.<\/p>\n\n\n
The simplest test: stand the stick upright next to your leg \u2014 the top should reach roughly your hip bone. Reference table:<\/p>\n\n\n Between sizes? Defenders<\/strong> usually choose a longer stick (more reach in the tackle), forwards<\/strong> \u2014 a shorter one (faster dribbling and work in the circle). Do not buy a child a stick \u201cto grow into\u201d \u2014 one too long makes learning technique harder.<\/p>\n\n\n A shinguard should cover the leg from ankle to knee without restricting bending. Junior\/S\/M\/L sizes differ between brands \u2014 every product page includes the manufacturer's size table with lengths in centimetres. Measure the distance from your ankle to the bottom of your knee and compare it with the table.<\/p>\n\n\n Field hockey shoes are chosen like running shoes \u2014 usually half a size larger<\/strong> than your everyday shoes, so your toes do not hit the front when lunging and braking. Indoor shoes with a light-coloured sole work best in the hall; on artificial turf \u2014 turf shoes with small studs. Brand size charts are available on product pages.<\/p>\n\n\n Sizes of apparel and goalkeeping protection (legguards, kickers, helmets) follow the manufacturers' size tables on each product page \u2014 junior goalkeeping sets are chosen by age and height (e.g. Mini 7\u20139 years, XS 9\u201311, S 11\u201313, M 13\u201315).<\/p>\n\n\n Write to us<\/a> \u2014 we will suggest the right size for your height, position and playing level.
