CHOOSING YOUR STICK LENGTH
You should always be able to comfortably control your field hockey stick. What size is right for you? Place the index finger of your right hand on your hipbone. Then place your middle and ring finger next to your index finger. The top of your stick should reach the side of your ring finger.
Player height - stick length
4’ & under – 28”
4’1” to 4’3” – 30”
4’4” to 4’6” – 32”
