Equipment
Our equipment standards are based on guidelines set by USA Lacrosse and our primary concern for safety.
Boys' Equipment
- MOULDED Mouth Guard
- Cleats
- Helmet: Hockey helmets permitted for 1st and 2nd graders
- Chest Protector/Shoulder Pads: must have heart protector
- Elbow Pads: Hockey pads permitted
- Lacrosse Gloves
- Protective Cup
- Boys Lacrosse Stick — make sure it is not a mini stick
Girls' Equipment
- MOULDED Mouth Guard — MUST be colored for girls, no clear or white
- Cleats
- Goggles
- Pelvic Protector (optional)
- Girls Lacrosse Stick — made for girls lacrosse
Intro Equipment
- NO equipment required – everything will be provided to new Intro athletes by NRLAX
- We utilize STX FiddleSTX Mini Lacrosse Sticks (or similar) and lighter, softer “practice lacrosse balls”
- No uniform is required – dress for the weather!
Even though US Lacrosse supports the interchangeable use of hockey and lacrosse helmets for boys at the 1st/2nd Grade level, we strongly suggest the purchase of a certified lacrosse helmet.
Also interchangeable at this level are boys hockey and lacrosse shoulder and elbow pads. Again, wherever possible, we support the purchase of certified lacrosse equipment.
Protective cups are strongly recommended for boys who wear equipment.
Standard regulation size lacrosse sticks are also required equipment. Many of the heads on the youth sized sticks will not accommodate a standard lacrosse ball and we want the kids to get used to playing with standard equipment from the beginning.
