Hockey’s a great game and here at Knowle we want everyone to be able to get involved! While there are inevitably some costs associated with running a club that we need to cover, we’d hate the costs of playing to be a barrier to you playing. With that in mind, we try and keep our membership expenses as affordable as possible for all, and if it’s ever the money that’s stopping you playing, talk to us.

Kit

Knowle Kit

Knowle branded playing kit and stash can be ordered through us directly. The items listed below are the standard kit for Knowle Hockey, you are welcome to source your own gear if you wish, but for matches you need to align to the club colours.  We appreciate that buying a full home and away kit is expensive and many players source cheaper items initially whilst deciding whether they wish to commit to the sport and club.  Most sports shops stock items in our colours that are similar to our kit style. There are also occasionally pre-loved items available through the club to new homes for a small donation.

(For training, anything comfortable will do).

All of the currently available Knowle stash with details of sizing, prices and how to order can be found in the pdf link below.

Knowle Kit 2023

Hockey Kit

Sticks, Shin Pads, Astros and Gum Shields

These can all be purchased from many sports shops and online at quite reasonable prices. Locally Gyles Brothers at the top of Whiteladies Rd is a great place to start (and if you tell them your a Knowlie, they very kindly give us 10% off. Slightly further afield, the Stick Club in Cheltenham has a cool set-up with an astro where you can give different sticks a try – the wand chooses the wizard after all! Online, the Hockey Factory Shop is worth a look. 

Shin Pads

An absolute must, as a ball hitting your leg at high speed without shin pads is no joke!

Gum Shields

You can get a personalised gum shield to fit your mouth perfectly from your dentist if you so require, this will cost anything upwards of £60, but you may feel the investment is worth the money. Otherwise local sport shops and online is the best place to look – Opro are the official supplier to England & GB Hockey and their range starts with the entry level Snap-Fit for just a couple of pounds. There’s even a model you can wear with your braces.
