Shin pads are compulsory for players and goalkeepers.

Players may request, an exemption from the uniform policy, e.g. on the grounds of medical or religious requirements.

UNIFORM TIP:  Please be aware that many teams choose the team shirt colour of red or blue and consequently these teams have a clash in team uniforms when on the pitch resulting in the team having to wear bibs.  This is not ideal so to lessen the likelihood of your team having to wear bibs, it is best if you choose a team shirt that is unique.

Bibs are available in the club rooms in the event that two teams are playing in similar colors. However it is still expected that each team plays in uniform as per the uniform requirments.

Teams are responsible for their own first aid. Basic first aid supplies (like ice) are available from the club rooms.
