All players except goalie

  • Stick: Sticks come in a variety of lengths and styles. CANNOT use a boys stick.

  • Mouth guard: This guard protects valuable teeth (and helps save parents from taking their children on unwanted trips to the dentist for repairs).

  • Shoes: Cleats that are allowed. There are lacrosse specific cleats but soccer cleats will do.

  • Gloves: Gloves help players hold on to the stick and also protect their fingers and hands from the ball or other sticks. Some girls' leagues don't require players to wear gloves.

  • Lacrosse goggles: Goggles protect the eyes. They feature an eye shield and a band that wraps around the back of the player's head to hold them in place

  • Goalie

  • Chest protector: This garment protects the player's upper body

  • Shin guards: These items are worn to protect the shins
  • Knee pads: Knee pads come in handy, because goalies often must drop to the ground to block shots
  • Goalie stick: These sticks are larger than the other players' sticks, which helps the goalie block the opposition's shots
  • Helmet: In girls' lacrosse, goalies wear helmets with a throat protector
