The school, in liaison with the mouthguard suppliers O-PRO, arranges for dentists to visit at the end of the Summer Term. Although Year 3 boys play only Touch Rugby they do play Hockey for which they will need a mouthguard. In rugby it is now a requirement for players of any age to wear protective head and shoulder pads as long as they comply with RFU regulations. At St John's we do not feel that this equipment is necessary for boys of Prep school age. You are welcome should you wish to buy protective clothing (with the appropriate kite-marks) but please don't feel it is essential equipment for your son.
