Field hockey players typically wear a short-sleeve shirt and skirt with short pants underneath. Men wear the same outfit, minus the skirt. The goalkeeper’s shirt must cover all of her upper body equipment up to her shoulders. Field players wear knee-high socks that cover the shin guards.

In field hockey generally short socks are worn in the shoes and long socks are then worn over your shin guards. Liner socks can be worn under your shin guards, and are recommended to avoid skin irritations of the shins, which are common. Liner socks should be washed regularly to assist in preventing skin irritations.

The basic field hockey rules Hockey players (other than the goalkeeper) are not allowed to use their feet, or any other parts of the body, to control the ball at any time. Hockey players may not trip, push, charge, interfere with, or physically handle an opponent in any way.

Field hockey cleats are extremely similar to soccer cleats. In fact the cleat structure in most cases is the same exact as soccer. The differences are in the body of the shoe.

If you’re looking for a molded cleat feel, the Adidas Ace 16.1 is an excellent option. These cleats also double as soccer boots, combining the necessary features and technology to serve both field hockey and soccer players well. Ace 16.1 cleats are a synthetic sure.

Cleats and Turfs On a grass field, players use cleats, with long rubber studs on the bottom of the shoe. Soccer cleats are great to wear for playing field hockey as well.

Soccer cleats are usually low cut but several brands have started to make hightops. These cleats are the most versatile of all the cleats because they can also be worn for football, field hockey, baseball, and lacrosse if in a pinch. Your child should wear a regular cleat if playing on a long turf field.

Safe Field Hockey Gear The right protective gear is important for field hockey, including: Cleats. Choose a pair of shoes with molded cleats or ribbed soles. Shoes with screw-in cleats may carry a higher risk of injury, so only use them when you need extra traction, such as on a wet field.

You can wear field hockey cleats in a lacrosse game, and you can also wear lacrosse cleats in a field hockey game. The studs in field hockey cleats are not as severe as the studs on lacrosse cleats.

On the outer soles, softball cleats have molded cleats that make the gear lighter and comfortable for beginners. They are also suitable for off-field practice since they offer more traction, and they do not tear up the training facility as the field hockey cleats.

We carry the top brands in the game – ASICS, Under Armour, Nike, and Grays. Field Hockey footwear is constructed to provide excellent traction on dry, natural grass or artificial surfaces. Indoor Field Hockey footwear has gum rubber outsoles for traction on the indoor floor.

Conclusion. I have subjected the Salomon Speedcross to unconventional activities for the shoe. The shoe excels every time. I would also really recommend these shoes to field hockey players.

Avoid using runner, cross-trainers and ‘trail’ running shoes as they generally do not provide enough grip. In recent times there has been a trend against the wearing of ‘blade’ style shoes on synthetic surfaces as they are thought to damage the surface.

Cleats or studs are protrusions on the sole of a shoe or on an external attachment to a shoe that provide additional traction on a soft or slippery surface. In American English, the term “cleats” is used synecdochically to refer to shoes featuring such protrusions.

When playing indoor field hockey at a competitive level it is important to wear a left handed glove. The glove will protect your knuckles and your fingers, and prevent broken bones. Specifically when going for a tackle your hand becomes exposed, and is at risk.
