Q: Where can I purchase an indoor field hockey stick?
A: Be sure you purchase an INDOOR 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.

We recommend three locations to purchase indoor sticks:
