MOUTH GUARD: It is not mandatory that players wear a mouth guard for touch rugby only. Mouth guards molded at the dentist are most comfortable and can be acquired at Venier Dental or most dental offices. Soccerwest on George Ferguson Way also sells mouth guards.

CLEATS: Players will need cleats, especially in wet weather. We recommend having a pair of plastic molded bottoms. Many rugby players wear soccer cleats. Metal cleats will not be permitted. Cleats can be purchased at most sporting goods stores, including Soccerwest on George Ferguson Way.

OPTIONAL GEAR (SHOULDER PADS, HEAD GEAR AND STICK MITS): Some players choose to wear additional safety gear, but these items are not mandatory. Items such as shoulder pads and head gear offer additional protection and some players find stick mits help with handling. These items are available at Soccerwest on George Ferguson.
