Special Olympics does not allow players to be teamed up with buddies (or shadows) as we do in our soccer and baseball programs. Teams and players will be lead by coach and assistant coach.
We recommend each player bring their own equipment for both safety and hygiene reasons. We have a limited supply of equipment to loan to our athletes. If you do not have equipment we can arrange a time and place to go through our supply.
MANDATORY EQUIPMENT:
Helmet with full mask (cage) such as a street hockey helmet...padded gloves such as street hockey or field hockey gloves but not ice hockey gloves...shin guards such as street hockey, ice hockey or soccer. Its suggested to get shin guards that cover knee to ankle because floor hockey sticks can hurt.
