FAQs
Q - What is Shinty?
A - The most common question with no discovered answer. Personal favourite attempts at explanations for this fast-paced, intense, caman and ball game are: full-contact golf, hokcy - but better, ice hockey without the pads and the 'sport of the curved stick'.
Q - Isn't it a dangerous Sport?
A- Allegedly, but nonoe of the team are yet mutated. Statistically there's a higher chance of injury from the supplementary shinty activities. So long as helmets (which we provide) and shin pads are worn, the risk is minimal.
Q - I've never played before - can I still come?
A - Most of our elite athletes started as completed novices, all we ask for is a little enthusiasm (and maybe some inner rage). The club can provide basic equipment.
Q - Is there any social life attached?
A - Ask any St Andrews student. We realise sport is supposed to be enjoyable, and training on and off the pitch is an integral part of our "teamwork" strategy.
