Essential Lacrosse Gear for Every Player: A Checklist
Lacrosse is fast, physical, and demands the right gear to keep you safe and performing at your best. Whether you're a first-time player or a seasoned vet, having the proper lacrosse gear is non-negotiable. Here’s everything you need to gear up and hit the field ready to dominate.
Lacrosse Equipment for Field Players
Helmet (Boys & Men’s Lacrosse): Protect your dome! Must meet NOCSAE standards and include a face mask.
Protective Eyewear (Women’s/Girls’ Lacrosse): Your eyes aren’t replaceable—this is required and must meet ASTM standards.
Lacrosse Stick:
Men’s/Boys’ Lacrosse: Short (40-42”) or long (52-72”), depending on position.
Women’s/Girls’ Lacrosse: 35.5-43.25” per regulations.
Gloves: Keeps your hands safe and your grip solid—required for boys, recommended for girls.
Mouthguard: Non-negotiable. No one wants a gap-toothed smile (This isn’t hockey!). Must be a visible color.
Shoulder Pads (Men’s/Boys’ Lacrosse): Take the hits without feeling them. Must be NOCSAE ND200 compliant.
Arm Pads (Men’s/Boys’ & Box Lacrosse): Because bruises shouldn’t be part of your uniform.
Cleats: Quick cuts and ankle support—trust us, you don’t want to be slipping.
Protective Cup (Men’s/Boys’ Lacrosse): If you have to ask, you need one.
Lacrosse Team Uniforms: Breathable, moisture-wicking jerseys, shorts, and warm-ups so you look and play like a pro.
Goalie-Specific Equipment
Goalie Helmet: More protection for the fearless ones standing in the line of fire.
Chest Protector: NOCSAE ND200 compliant to keep your upper body intact.
Goalie Gloves: Extra padding so your fingers survive the season.
Goalie Stick:
Men’s: 40-72”
Boys’ (U-9, U-11): 37-72”
Women’s: 35.5-52”
Leg Pads (Women’s/Girls’ Lacrosse Goalies): Extra protection where it counts.
Pelvic & Abdominal Protection: Because no one wants to take a shot there unprotected.
Box Lacrosse Gear & Additional Equipment
Helmet (NOCSAE certified)
Shoulder Pads (with bicep protectors)
Rib Pads (mandatory for box lacrosse)
Lacrosse Balls: White for men’s games, yellow for women’s, plus various training options.
Lacrosse Equipment Bags: Because carrying all this gear in your hands isn’t an option.
