FAQs
Equipment
1. What equipment does my son/daughter need to participate?
Boys are required to have a stick, helmet, shoulder pads, arm pads, gloves, mouthguard, and an athletic supporter/cup to participate. Girls are required to have a stick and goggles (gloves are optional). We recommend cleated athletic shoes as well for both boys and girls since the fields are often muddy in the spring.
2. Is any equipment available from or provided by the Club?
The club provides every player with a helmet (boys only) and jersey. We also provide goalie sticks and equipment for those who are interested. A limited amount of girl's protective goggles and boy's and girl's used equipment is available upon request.
3. Where can I buy lacrosse equipment?
