Not to start. Since the association made helmets compulsory in 2019, we have kept helmets on hand at games and training for anyone without one. Bring runners and a hat, and ask us what else we can lend.
Then say so when you reach out, and we will point you at the right XI. Experienced pro, backyard legend or complete beginner, we have always wanted all three.
