The Basics: What Every Player Needs

Lacrosse Stick:

• The most important piece of equipment. For beginners, we recommend a complete stick with a pre-strung head.

Protective Gear:

• Boys: Helmet, shoulder pads, arm pads, gloves, and a protective cup
• Girls: Goggles and optional headgear
• Mouthguard: Required for all players to protect teeth and reduce concussion risk.
• Cleats: Soccer or football cleats work well for beginners.
• Additional Equipment for Specific Positions.
• Goalies: Require additional protective gear, including a throat protector and chest protector.

Choosing the Right Equipment

When selecting equipment, consider:

• Proper fit
• Quality and durability
• Age-appropriate options

CitySideLax Pro Tip

Invest in a good stick and protective gear, but don't break the bank on high-end equipment for beginners. As skills improve, you can upgrade to more advanced gear.
