# Hockey - Safety

## [Video Resource](https://media-prod.pehub.eject.pro/cms-sync/cG9zdDoxNzcwNzcw)

Safety is very important in hockey. Scroll down for a video guide to how to help ensure hockey is played safely. Children should always wear appropriate protective equipment, including a gum shield and shin pads. Teachers should regularly remind children of the rules, especially to keep sticks low and to be aware of others around them, Using a lighter ball is also recommended for primary-aged children. Clear routines, safe spacing, and consistent reminders help ensure hockey is played in a safe and enjoyable way for everyone. For further information, refer to the latest [AfPE Safe Practice in Physical Education, School Sport and Physical Activity](https%253A%252F%252Fhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.afpe.org.uk%252Fpage%252FSafe_Practice_in_PESSPA).
