Can I purchase equipment locally? Yes, Dick’s Sporting Goods in Jones Valley can provide all the equipment needed for both boys and girls. The most important aspect of the equipment is a comfortable fit for your child.
What equipment will my son need? The most important fit item for boys is the helmet. Poorly fitting helmets can be extremely miserable, and can be a deal breaker for your son. We encourage families NOT to buy their son’s first helmet online. Please attempt to try on equipment before purchasing. Helmet comfort by brand & model tends to vary dramatically between kids.
Your son will need the following equipment:
- Helmet – Lacrosse specific
- Mouth Guard
- Shoulder Pads – Lacrosse specific
- Arm Pads – Lacrosse specific
- Gloves – Lacrosse specific
- Cup and Cup holder
- Lacrosse stick
- Light weight cleats, no steel, no baseball cleats
Gloves are the second most important fit item for boys. They help your son retain good control of the stick while protecting his hands.
