Rugby Equipment
A quick rundown on rugby equipment:
- Mouthguards (buy 3, any good sports store will have them)
- http://www.shockdoctor.com/ (a good brand)
- Cleats (soccer or specific to rugby, no toe cleat)
- Shorts, socks and practice jersey (supplied by the team)
- Jersey (supplied by the team before each match)
- Headgear (a good idea if you a forward, protects against cauliflower ears)
- Shoulder pads (may be something you want)
- A ball (we will have balls on sale soon)
At practice where sturdy sweats or a rugby shirt. Forwards especially should always wear rugby shorts.
Where do I buy rugby gear?
The closest retail store that has rugby gear is Sporthaus Schmetzer on Lake City Way. Tell them you play for Seattle Rugby and get a 10% discount. You may also find better deals online, although buying rugby boots this way is a bit risky if you are unsure of your shoe size. Here are few that have rugby equipment.
