Equipment Information

 * Name: Street Hockey Balls, Hockey Tape, Bicycle Tires
 * Description: We use street hockey balls because they are the standard used by other polo teams. They are durable and roll well over asphalt. Balls get lost, explode due to shots or being run over, and wear out over time. We can buy them in bulk from sports supply stores.
 * Purpose: To stock up on consumable items that wear over time and are essential to the game of polo. Hockey tape is used to wrap the mallet handles for improved control and for protection from the ends of the handle. Bicycle tires are used quickly because of lots of skidding. When we travel to polo tournaments it is important to have a supply of extras so we can deal with flats and continue competing.
 * Storage Location: Yellowbike Space

Equipment Expenses

 * TOTAL: $ 150.00 - 20 Street Hockey Balls. 10 rolls of hockey tape. 30 bicycle tires.
