LACROSSE GEAR

Girls K-14U and Boys 8U-14U require full lacrosse gear.   Click on one of the images to learn more about gear requirements.

To protect against Commotio Cordis*, USA Lacrosse has implemented new rules that boys chest and shoulder pads must meet NOCSAE certification.  These pads have been approved by NOCSAE.  You can visually see a chest pad is approved if it has the "Meets NOCSAE Standard" on it.

TRY LACROSSE EVENTS

We have occasional free Try Lacrosse (aka Try Lax) Events for players to try out lacrosse.  Our next event will be in fall 2023 - check back!

Our FREE Try Lax clinics are geared towards first time players and those with limited experience who want to try lacrosse before committing to a full season.

  • Grades K- 8 attendees will be introduced to the fundamentals of throwing, catching, scooping, cradling, and other basic skills.  
  • The goal of the clinic is for players to learn lacrosse in a fun, low-pressure environment.
  • Lacrosse sticks will be provided, but you may bring your own
