All London Welsh Minis and Youth kit is now available online on the Rhino Teamwear London Welsh Site Click Here. Remember that when you order online you can have INITIALS on each of the garments. This will make it easier to minimise garment loss and ensure your young player "Looks Like A Pro"

The LW shop at ODP will be open on Sundays when volunteers are available but will only stock very limited items, mainly for sizing purposes.

Equipment Usage
All players will be expected to turn up at training wearing appropriate London Welsh rugby kit. A tracksuit is also required for use on cold days and for traveling to festivals. Boots with aluminum studs or rubber molded soles are to be worn for training and matches.

Boots - Important
Although IRB regulations permit the wearing of soccer style boots with blades instead of studs, there is growing dissatisfaction within rugby circles with this type of boot because of the potential injury risk to both the wearer and opposition team players. In line with the direction given by Middlesex CRFU, London Welsh prefer that players wear boots that have aluminium (preferably kite marked) screw in studs or rubber moulded sole boots. The wearing of plastic studs and boots which have an extra toe stud will not be allowed. If in doubt, check with your lead coach before you buy new boots.

Gumshields/Mouthguards - Important
All players who play contact rugby MUST wear a guard for training and playing. The club offers a dental fitting service with OPRO or you may contact your own dentist for this. Properly moulded ones are best. Self fix ones are available at all good sports shops.

Body Armour/Head Guards
These are becoming increasingly popular amongst players. They are not obligatory and players may wear them if they so wish.

Thermal undergarments
Increasingly popular in cold weather, again not obligatory.

Shin pads
Players are encouraged to wear shin pads, especially for contact rugby. Not obligatory.

Rugby Sticky Mitts
These are allowed for playing in and are particularly effective in very cold weather when young hands can get very cold.Ordinary gloves will NOT be allowed.

Severe Weather
Please come to training/matches with appropriate clothing for the weather on the day. Always have hats, gloves, waterproof tops. A snack and a drink is always useful.

...and finally
All items of jewelery must be removed before training. This includes necklaces, rings and bracelets plus the coloured rubber and cord wrist bands that are currently popular.
