Step onto the pitch with total peace of mind using our specialist range of hockey groin protectors. Whether you are a goalkeeper facing down point-blank shots or a brave defender running out at a penalty corner, protecting your most vulnerable areas is absolutely essential. We proudly stock reliable, high-impact abdominal and pelvic guards from the world’s leading protection specialist, OBO. Equip yourself with the right armour so you can focus 100% on the game.

A fast-moving, hard field hockey ball can cause severe injury, making groin protection a non-negotiable part of your defensive kit. Our OBO collection includes anatomically designed protectors for both men (abdo guards) and women (pelvic protectors), ensuring a secure, comfortable fit that won't restrict your running or diving. Essential for goalkeepers and your short corner defensive unit, these guards pair perfectly with our Hockey Face Masks and Penalty Corner Gloves to complete your ultimate impact protection.

Who Needs a Hockey Groin Protector?

While not worn by every field player during open play, groin protectors (also known as boxes, abdo guards, or pelvic protectors) are vital for players in specific, high-risk roles on the hockey pitch:

1. Goalkeepers (Mandatory)
For goalkeepers, a groin guard is a mandatory piece of safety equipment. Because goalies frequently use their bodies to block high-speed shots, the risk of impact is incredibly high. OBO designs their heavy-duty protectors specifically to sit comfortably beneath padded goalkeeping shorts, offering maximum shock absorption without hindering agility.

2. Penalty Corner Defenders
If you are part of the defensive unit for a penalty corner—especially if you are the number one runner or the post player—you are putting your body directly in the line of a drag flick. Many senior and club-level defenders choose to wear a groin protector during these set-pieces for complete confidence on the line.

Finding the Right Fit and Style

A groin protector only works effectively if it stays securely in place while you are sprinting, stretching, or making a save. OBO's specialist designs cater to all players:

  • Male vs. Female Designs: We stock specific OBO designs for both men and women. Male abdo guards feature a traditional cup shape to deflect impact, while female pelvic protectors feature a flatter, high-density foam shield designed to protect the pelvic bone.
  • Strapping Systems: OBO protectors feature adjustable, elasticated waistbands and leg straps. This ensures the guard stays tight against the body and doesn't shift when you lunge or dive.

Complete Your Defensive Arsenal

Taking a hit during a short corner or in goal is a matter of when, not if. Make sure your club or school team is fully prepared by exploring our complete Hockey Protection range. From heavy-duty Knee Guards to mandatory mouthguards, we have everything you need to stay safe for the 2025/26 season.
