IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Football Boots.
Football boots must not be worn in any internal changing area (including the cabins at Northowram J & I School and the changing rooms at Hipperholme & Lightcliffe School). Water and mud make the surfaces extremely slippery and very dangerous. Clear signs are visible at the entrance of all changing rooms.
Shin Pads.
It is a Football Association,
League and Club Rule that every child participating in training or matches
MUST wear shin pads including goalkeepers. If you are not wearing shin
pads, Managers and Referees will not let you play.
