Shoes-Outdoor shoes are good for indoor and outdoor use.  Indoor are strictly indoor.  With indoor shoes outside, the snow sticks to the bottom and you will be sliding all over.  This is why the outdoor shoes have cups on the bottom, so that the snow drops out.  If you are playing in an outdoor tourney with no snow, wear indoor shoes.   If it snows at all, switch to outdoor shoes.

Men’s sizing is usually right with the tennis shoe size.  If you are playing outdoors, you may want room for a heavy sock, but unless you are freezing on the bench, go with your tennis shoe size.

Women’s sizing is one size smaller than your shoe size.  If you are an 8 women’s shoe you would be a 7 broomball shoe.  If you are an 8.5 shoe, you will probably still be a 7, you may need to experiment with your socks.

Sticks – The standard 46” works for 99% of the players.   Some defensemen prefer longer sticks for poke checking the ball.   Some crafty forwards prefer shorter sticks for stick handling.

Shin Guards – You will ideally want the largest shin guard possible.  Here is a good guide.  If you are over 6’ tall, then you would be an XL. If you are 5’9-6’ you are Large.  If you are 5’5" – 5’9” you are medium and any shorter you are a small.  This includes the shin knee combos. If you are 6’2” or bigger, the seperate shin and knees is the best option.  All of the combos are too short for me.

Gloves – Go with your men’s glove size.

Elbow Pads – I would go with the same size of men’s tee shirt that you normally wear.  If you wear a men’s XL, then a XL elbow will fit.  You will need to take into account how big your beach muscles are, or are not.  The volleyball style is truly one size fits all.

Helmets – Go with the closest size to the chart below.  Large and X-Large are usually the same with most of the major brands.

WSI Clothing - You are pretty safe going with your normal size, but WSI does have a sizing chart on their site – www.wsisports.com.

Jerseys – Go with one size bigger than your shirt size.  If you are a goalie, go two sizes bigger.

Pants – 6’2” or taller would be XL or L if large is the biggest size.  5’9” – 6’ would be a large.  5’5’’ – 5’8’’ would be a medium.  Any smaller would be a small or an adapted medium.  If you are on the edge of these heights, you may have to adjust the length of the pants.   The waist sizes also get bigger with each size, so if you are a larger waist, buy them big and get the sewing machine out.
