The back of the stick (right-hand side or non-playing side) is smooth and rounded for the entire length of the stick. The ball must be played with with the flat side of the stick.

Ball:
Made of solid plastic, weighing between 5 1/2 ounces and 5 3/4 ounces with a circumference of 8 13/16 inches to 9 1/4 inches. Usually white in color, other colors may be used as agreed.

Throat Protector:
The throat is a fragile part of the body. The throat protector wraps around the throat so that the throat is always protected. We looked at using a throat guard that hangs from the helmet grill but found that they were often not in the correct position — especially when the goalie is lying on the ground.
