What protection should you wear for field hockey?

Answer 1

A uniform normally includes a team shirt, either shorts or a skirt, and socks. You should also have a mouthguard, shinguards and proper footwear; many opt to wear gloves for either protection or grip as well.

Answer 2

if you play on grass, cleats are obviously the best choice, but when you where sneakers you can where any kind but NIKE SHOCKS. The hole in their bottom get caught in the grass and make you fall, and you can actually end up with a twisted ankle.

If you play on artificial surface, there are often shoes especially designed for it; they have soles covered in very small studs which grip the threads well. Otherwise, a good pair of sneakers or sportshoes will do.

Answer 3

You should wear cleats to play Field Hockey if you are playing on a grass field. If you are playing indoors you should wear sneakers. If you are on artificial turf you should wear turf shoes and if you don't have turf shoes you should wear sneakers. But sneakers wouldn't be a good idea because you slide EVERYWHERE.

Answer 4

Depends whether or not you're gonna be playing on turf or an actual field.

If you play on turf you will need turf shoes. You could wear sneakers but you'd be slipping and sliding everywhere. Iv'e heard that cleats are banned from most turf fields because they damage it. If you play on an actual field then you would need cleats. Sneakers work too, but you would also be slipping and sliding everywhere. I would recommend buying some Nike or Adidas soccer cleats or actual field hockey brand names like Dita. If you were to buy soccer cleats you would have to watch out because if you get hit in the foot, it won't have much protection. I remember my first year in 7th grade I played with regular sneakers and I was sliding everywhere!

Answer 5

A mouth guard and Shin pad for general play. If your involved in defensive penalty corners then you can wear a mask. If your a male, you would just add a protection cup for the genitals. These are optional thou. Obviously goalies have to pad up everything, from head to toe.

Answer 6

Depending on the type of field you play on, soccer or softball shoes/boots (for grass) or turf shoes (for artificial turf).

Answer 7

If you play on grass, soccer boots or spiked shoes are a good idea; if on artificial turf, there are numerous brands of specially studded shoes available, or you can use normal sportshoes.

Answer 8

You should wear cleats. Sneakers are ok; however, You have a higher probability of slipping!!
