Girl's Equipment Needed:

• Girl's lacrosse goggles
• Girl's lacrosse stick
• Cleats - soccer cleats are fine
• A mouthguard - nothing white or clear

There are some rules about goggles for girls. Please read this article from USA Lacrosse on the new regulations. Girls Goggles Requirements

Pentucket Youth Lacrosse does not require girls to wear protective helmets. In our collective experience, the game gets more violent when teams wear helmets. Instead, we coach proper checking at the older levels and teach proper defensive techniques to avoid stick-to-body contact. The decision to wear a helmet is up to each family. 

We have put together some links to help you purchase equipment.

Boy's helmet (1-4th grade): 

We do not recommend using a used helmet. Helmets must be replaced every 3 years because the plastic degrades. Please buy a new helmet or make certain you know who had it and how long they were wearing it before choosing a used one.

The Next Step...

Girl's and Boy's 5-8th Grade equipment suggestions:

Lacrosse sticks can be costly. Youth players in 5-8th grade should expect to spend between $90 and $300 for a complete stick. Choose a brand your child likes. Try it with a ball in the store and see how comfortable they are throwing and catching. No 5th grader needs a $300 stick, so try to stick to the under $150 range. The only brand PYL coaches do not appreciate is the Brine Evo Warps. They look cool, but no youth player does well with them in our experience.

As the kids get better, the sticks can really help them. The technology these days is amazing - especially on the girls side. Boys often have different heads and shafts for different positions. Your coaches can help you select something. If you need a suggestion for something specific before the season starts, feel free to reach out via email  and we will help you. EMAIL US

*If your son wants to pay defense, check with your coach about borrowing a long pole before buying anything. We have some for borrowing. 

** PYL provides goalie sticks to all players who want to try goalie. We also supply protective equipment for goalies. No need to purchase unless your child is a dedicated goalie.
