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
From Baystate Youth Field Hockey League
“Goggles are required for all divisions, other than 7/8; however, any program within the Baystate League is free to make them required throughout their programs. Additionally, any individual player within a program that has removed the goggle requirement, can still opt to wear goggles if they feel more comfortable doing so. Umpires will also not be enforcing restrictions of Field Hockey goggles versus Lacrosse goggles, all protective eye wear will be accepted at the various divisions based on player needs (i.e. those that have other variations due to wearing prescription glasses.”
Required for Team 1/2/3/4
Optional for Team 5/6/7/8
