Tip of the Month -- JUNE 2004 -- Learn To Play

from Amy Grossman (email Amy)

What to Wear?

• Dress children in layers -- a hockey jersey or sweatshirt on top is fine.
• Hockey shorts are good if you already have them, but sweat pants work well, too. Hockey socks worn over the kneepads are needed if you use hockey shorts.
• Kneepads should be worn underneath hockey socks or sweatpants because their slipper surface makes it a challenge to get up after a fall. (Note: use Velcro or tape to secure kneepads and prevent them from falling.)
• Ski gloves work well if you don’t have a pair of hockey gloves. Some children find it easier to grab their hockey stick with ski gloves since these are not as stiff as leather hockey gloves.
