We recommend the use of helmets, although it is not mandatory, it is highly suggested. You can purchase Zhik Kollition Helmets from Academy Reception at a greatly subsidised price of $40 (RRP $169.95). This is thanks to the SYC Board's initiative towards safety, and a generous SYC club member who funded the difference in RRP and our sale price ($129.95 off per helmet).
