Description
Overview
Young beginners need a stick they can actually control, and the Avaro Hockey Stick – 28" (Yellow) is the shortest length Avaro makes for exactly that reason. It is fully painted ash wood with glass fibre reinforcing, so a beginner's mis-hits on the ground do not shorten its life.
A colour-contrasting PU grip gives small hands something to hold, and the medium weight keeps the swing manageable. When your players outgrow it, the next step up is the Avaro Hockey Stick – 30" (Green).
Key benefits
- Built for beginners' knocks with glass fibre reinforcing in the ash shaft.
- Yellow finish makes the shortest sticks easy to spot in a mixed class set.
- Secure hold for small hands with the contrasting PU grip.
- Medium weight keeps the swing controllable while learners find their technique.
Who it's for
The Avaro size guide puts 26 to 28 inch sticks at roughly 5 to 6 years, so this is the stick for new entrants, junior hockey introductions in PE, and learners at a youth club. It is too short for most players 7 years and over, so measure before ordering. The complete Avaro range covers lengths up to 37.5 inches.
Sizing guide
Measure from the ground to the belly button. Order this 28 inch yellow stick for measurements in the 26 to 28 inch band, about 5 to 6 years. The guide moves to 30 to 32 inches at 7 to 9 years, 34 to 36 inches at 10 to 12 years, and 36 to 37.5 inches at 13 and over.
Care, safety and set-up
Wipe the painted shaft after wet sessions and inspect the grips each term. Store sticks off the floor in a dry cupboard so they are not stood on between classes.
