Goalie Equipment Checklist: Essential Gear for Protection and Mobility
In this session, goalies are introduced to the essential equipment needed at all levels for optimal protection and performance. The checklist includes a helmet with a throat protector, chest guard, and gloves, along with a protective cup for both boys and girls. While shin guards are optional, arm pads are discouraged as they restrict arm movement, which is crucial for making saves. This session emphasizes the importance of choosing the right gear to stay protected while maintaining mobility in the crease.
