Hockey equipment is readily available to buy from around Newcastle city centre and contact us if you would like help finding the right equipment for you. In addition if you are new to hockey and would like to try it before buying all the necessary equipment then we do have sticks you can borrow.

The basic equipment required to train is:

  • Field hockey stick
  • Trainers suitable for Astroturf

The equipment needed to play in matches is:

  • Black hockey skirt or skorts
  • Black hockey socks (club socks are available)

Although not mandatory, we strongly recommend all players also use the following:

  • Hockey shin pads
  • Gum shield
  • Protective gloves

NHC club kit is available to buy and includes socks, hoodies, match day shirts and waterproof tops. To place an order please use the kit order form available to download in the members download area. This will require you to register with the club. This is free and allows access to many useful resources.
