List: Rugby Bag Must-haves
- 1.A sports bag with a shoulder strap and separate compartments to ensure his dirty boots don’t make everything else soiled.
- 10.Kicking tee to ensure he always uses the tee that is best for his performance
- 11.Two fresh towels – one for after the game and one for a shower.
- 12.Deodorant
- 13.Sun protection to keep his skin healthy.
- 2.A lock to use on a locker or bag.
- 3.\nRugby ball – it goes without saying that every player needs one of these.
- 4.Mouth Guard – keep his toothy white smile intact!
- 5.Headgear – protect his head and prevent the dreaded cauliflower ear (for older players).
- 6.Kit – the shirt, shorts and socks provided by the team or his own.
- 7.Undershorts or tights – prevent uncomfortable chafing.
- 8.A good quality water bottle – keep him hydrated!
- 9.Spare clothes for after the match.
- A ball pump to ensure he can always practice with his team and on his own.
- A hoodie will ensure that he doesn’t feel the cold in winter or the rain, and will keep his muscles warm for the game.
- Bag and deodorisers can help keep the smell contained without making the whole change room dizzy when opening up his bag.
- Extra studs (for those who use screw-studs) in case he loses a few.
- Laundry bags are great for keeping dirty clothes separate from his clean change of clothes for after the match.
- Pack some shower shoes, particularly if he is travelling, to ensure he doesn’t catch unwanted germs.
- Protection vests – absorbs some of the impact and prevents abrasions (optional).
- Shin pads – to ensure those accidental kicks don’t set him back (optional).
- A first aid kit including disinfectant, cotton wool and plenty of plasters.
