INDOOR STICKS

Indoor sticks are thinner and lighter than outdoor sticks.  Be sure you purchase a stick that is appropriately sized for your child. A stick that is too large creates improper body positioning and makes it harder to learn and harder to break bad habits down the road. Generally, the stick should come to the athlete’s hip or just under the belly button.

You can borrow a stick from FHA; email league@fieldhockey.ab.ca and bring a deposit cheque for $90 to your first practice. Write your cheque to Field Hockey Alberta and post date it for the last day of your session. 

There are lots of online sites to purchase indoor sticks, we recommend the following local business to purchase indoor sticks: 

AA Sports - Sohail Abdullah:  sohail63@gmail.com 

NOTE: South Program facility operator requires special sticks to protect their hardwood. Sticks will be provided by FHA
