Try and find a local walk on site to you. I know you already asked about this in another thread. You can then get used to your gear I would invest in a vest/ battle pack with pods. Any other soft gear worry about later I never used pads. Usually spent the money on other bits and bobs. Just get the basics sorted start playing and worry about everything else later down the line when I first started I didn't have a jersey or pants for well over a year
