Floor Hockey Equipment

My parents won't buy me floor hockey equipments so can i just use a stick and a tennis/whiffle ball? or do you suggest something else without buying the equipment?

Do you have anywhere to play safely? If not, no wonder they won't buy hockey equipment. They probably don't want the basement getting destroyed.

These are just some of my hockey equipment. 1. Vapor X:20 Glove Junior Bauer size 12.0 2. Sher-wood 19kJr 3. Orange Hockey Ball

Depends on the quality and if you can use Jr size gear or need Adult size.
For floor hockey, I would estimate at least 300 dollars US if buying new.
For ice hockey, at least 1000, though there are sales going on, if it's your
first set you REALLY should get fitted in person.

We're starting 8th grade soon and in 7th grade we had to play floor hockey and i sucked and they never pass it to sucky people and I was wondering can i practice at home using a scratching stick and a tennis/whiffle ball since i don't have the equipment? and how can i train so i can control the puck?

the most key part of puck control is being able to do it second-nature. if you have to look down at the puck to control it, you're going to get lit up (if you play some extreme floor hockey) or get robbed. ask your parents for a beginners' stick and a street hockey ball or puck. those dont cost much. just practice running with it, keeping it out in front of you, away from your body, but in control. also, learn to box out defenders with the body. keep your body between the defenders and the puck. thats crucial in floor hockey because you move a lot differently without skates on and can utilize the box out a lot more.

CAn you buy a collapsible hockey rack to take with you? Or, get a wire shoe rack-the kind that hangs on a door, and a few clothes pins.

I'm 16 and new to hockey but I really want to play. I played floor hockey in gym class and was pretty good. I used to skate a little but not really. I am interested in both ice and roller hockey. I have been saving up for equipment too.

It really all depends on which on you want to do more. Ice hockey typically casts a little bit more to play, but If money isn't a factor I would go with ice. If you end up trying both, you'll notice that each type of hockey (floor, roller, and ice) all have there subtle differences.

I would find out where the nearest ice rink is and how much open skate costs. I would do that for a while until you are comfortable with skating. After that there are usually high school or junior leagues you can join. Also a lot of rinks offer a "stick and shoot", "puck and pass", etc. that you can practice your stick handling and shooting. If this option isn't available, I would highly consider roller hockey.

You can play just about anywhere (you might have to use a puck instead of a ball) as long as the surface is dry. You can practice your inline skating skills just about anywhere. There tends to be a few less pads required when playing roller too, so it wont cost as much.
If you need any other tips or advice... or if you have any more questions , www.schoolyardpuck.com has some good info.
