Rodborough 3G Pitch - Footwear

The build is going well and we expect to start use from October, so make sure you are prepared with the right footwear... the preferred boots are with moulded studs or plastic/nylon screw in studs. 

• Never use spiked shoes on the surface. 
• The use of a flat sole shoe is not allowed as this will compact the infill and is considered to be more aggressive to the pile and causing early wear. 
• Blades are not recommended due to the potential to injure ligaments but are not banned/prohibited categorically as they do not damage the surface. 
• Metal screw in studs and those screw in studs with a metal tip and a plastic base are prohibited. 
• Astroboots (hockey boots with tiny dimples) are prohibited as they effectively act as a flat sole and therefore have a damaging effect.

For safety reasons, boots of all players should be checked before every game or training, both for sharpness and cleanliness.
