[[File:Training shield detail.png|100px|left|A detailed image of a training shield.]]
The '''Training shield''' is a beginner's item that has been discontinued and is currently unavailable to use unless already owned. The shield has the appearance of a [[Decorative shield#White Decorative Shield|white decorative shield]] and has the same bonuses as a [[wooden shield]].

It could originally be obtained for free from the melee combat tutor east of [[Lumbridge Castle]]. Players were only allowed one shield at any time.
On [[17 September]] 2009, Training shields were made no longer obtainable from tutors. This made the Training Shield (along with the [[training sword]]) officially a discontinued item and, over time, a rare find among players. However, on [[13 October]] [[2009]] Training shields became available again, this time for purchase from [[Beefy Bill]] for 55 coins. They became discontinued once again with the shop interface update of [[11 April]] 2012.

Formerly, the shield could only be destroyed; as opposed to now since it can be dropped.

==Trivia==
*It is called a "Blurite Kiteshield" by some players, as it does look like it is made of [[Blurite]], though the examine text state's it's made out of "flimsy painted wood".
*When the shield first came out, it looked exactly like the white [[decorative shield]], becoming very popular amongst [[F2P|free players]] immediately. Players that had spent a large amount of time playing [[Castle Wars]] to purchase the white decorative shield disliked the fact someone could walk around with the training shield and say they had a white decorative shield. [[Jagex]] changed the training shield's look by removing the blue line going across the shield, causing it to appear slightly different than the decorative shield.
*Few days before the first discontinued event, there was known to be a glitch where the shield will eventually "pop out" from their left hand during either pose of resting. This caused players to claim the [[Training shield]] and gathered in front of the [[Lumbridge Castle]]. A few days later, this bug was fixed and the shield goes discontinued for the first time.
*When the shield was made available again after being made temporarily discontinued, players who attempted to drop the shield found a Destroy message saying that you may claim it back from the [[Melee tutor]], even though he does not give them out any more. The [[Training bow]], [[Training arrows]] and [[Training sword]] also suffered this bug. This has been fixed and it now drops onto the floor properly.
*This is the only white coloured shield available for free to play players.
*It has the same defence bonuses as the wooden shield despite being bigger than the wooden shield.
*Surprisingly enough, when bloom is on, the shield offers more glow than most metal shields, even though it is a wooden shield.
*All Training items were discontinued when jagex updated the shops on 11 April 2012, making all training items rare and valued as a show off item.
