Are you ready to step onto the turf and give it your all this tournament season?  Being well-organised and packing well can make a difference to your performance and overall tournament experience. So, let's dive into some essential tips from our team to help you prepare like a pro and ready to unleash your A-game!

1

Start with the Essentials

Make a checklist of what you need. Stick, shin guards, mouthguard, socks, uniform, and shoes are must-haves. Don't forget to think about off-the-turf necessities too!

Check your gear for wear and tear. You don't want to be playing in shoes with no grip or carrying gear in a bag with holes. Losing things in transit? Not cool!

It's All About Accessories

Get a quality grip and tape for a firm hold on your stick. Swing by, and we'll happily apply them for you.

Pack water bottles to stay hydrated, a towel to handle the wet or sweat and remember things like chamois grips, headbands, and first aid supplies.

Don’t Forget Spares

Prepare for the unexpected. Extra grips, tape, and mouthguards are a given. Spare shoes, socks, stick, shin guards, and gloves are also a smart move. Keep on top of your game without running around for replacements!

Time to Upgrade?

Consider replacing your stick for the tournament. The carbon in your stick softens over time, so a new stick can give you added power.

Just make sure you have time to get used to it. Don't forget a backup stick for any damage or breakage!

Make Safety a Priority

Check your protective gear is in good condition. This includes your mouthguards, shin guards, gloves and PCD equipment.

You can save with an individual PCD bundle, or ask us about PCD bundles for your team.

Goalkeepers: Check Your Gear

Check your straps, fittings, pads, clips, screws and nuts: Check your gear, especially your accessories, for wear and tear.

If anything needs replacing get onto it sooner rather than later. We want to keep you safely protected in that goal.

Final Thoughts

For the Coaches & Managers: Stock up on balls, cones, and spare gear. Water bottles, a first aid kit, towels, and snacks are must-haves.

Don't forget tissues and plenty of spare mouthguards – you'll be surprised how often they're needed!
