Hockey Stick 23 Inch

Hockey stick 23 inch: the perfect start for young players

A well-fitting hockey stick is essential for young players taking their first steps on the field. The size of the hockey stick should match the child's height. This allows them to move naturally, learn control, and develop technique. A 23-inch hockey stick is usually the right choice for children around 6 to 8 years old. That length encourages proper posture. It prevents the child from standing too upright or bending down too far. With the right size, children enjoy the game more and make better progress.

What age is a 23-inch hockey stick suitable for?

A 23-inch hockey stick is typically suitable for children aged 6 to 8, depending on their height. Kids between 120 and 130 cm often fall into this size range. It's still important to measure the stick along the body. A good rule of thumb: the bottom of the stick should reach up to the hip bone. If the stick is too long, the child stands too upright. This makes it harder to learn how to hit, dribble, and position correctly. A stick that fits perfectly instead encourages control, balance, and technique. That way, children develop the right basic posture through play.

Choosing the right 23 inch hockey stick

When looking for a suitable 23-inch hockey stick, the curve, weight, and material all influence the playing experience. Beginner players benefit from a stick with a light curve between 16 and 22 mm. This makes ball control easier and the stick less technically demanding when dribbling. The stick's stiffness also matters. Preferably choose a flexible model with a lower carbon content. This helps your child feel what is happening with the ball. It supports learning basic skills like receiving and passing.

The stick's weight is also important for agility. For younger players, we recommend a lighter hockey stick. It allows for quicker direction changes and fast stops. A stick that is too heavy can be tiring and slows down reaction time. By choosing the right weight and flexible material, learning becomes more fun and more effective.
