2. Keeping Safe


Having the right PPE is essential to reduce injury risk. Please take a moment to ensure you’re properly equipped for safe play.

Mandatory for U18s and Strongly Recommended for all others:

  • Properly fitted mouthguard
  • Full-length hockey shin pads
  • Left-handed hard-shell glove
  • Face guard when defending short corners

Mouthguards:
The club has partnered with Opro to create a bespoke instant custom-fit mouthguard which provides high quality mouth protection—use code BerkHemelHockey10 for 10% off. High-impact guards are essential for hockey.

Short Corner Defence:
If you regularly defend short corners, you must have your own face guard. Team masks are sometimes available to borrow until you get your own sorted. You are responsible for your own protection.

Footwear:
Hockey Astro shoes offer better grip and impact protection than trainers and help prevent ankle injuries.

Goalkeepers:
Full protective kit is required. If you need kit, speak with the Ladies' or Men’s Club Captain—loan equipment is available.

Supplies:
Our supplier Chiltern Sports stocks a range of hockey equipment, including our club kit.

First Aid:
Each team has a first aid kit, and we aim to include a first aider in every squad. If you or your child has a medical condition or carries medication, please make sure to inform your captain or coach—they’ll notify the team’s first aiders. Please update them if your condition changes.

All medical information is handled with sensitivity and confidentiality.
