Sweeping Information

Broom Pads

• No Hair brooms and the use of the “extreme” Jimmy heads from Leaside will not be allowed (if you know what I am meaning then you know which ones would be classified as “extreme”). Non “extreme” Jimmy heads will be allowed, and conforming Jimmy fabric is allowed.
• All broom fabric from major manufacturers, Heads Up by Jimmy MacMillan and broom pads sold at our pro shop are acceptable.
• We will not be policing sweeping technique, so teams will be able to directionally sweep.
