Maple Grove Lacrosse

Required Equipment:

• Lacrosse Helmet – we go with CRIMSON helmets; hockey helmets are illegal
• Shoulder Pads – hockey shoulder pads might work
• Arm Pads
• Lacrosse Gloves – hockey gloves are not allowed and don’t work out too well because of the metal thumb in a hockey glove is too restrictive for the stick handling action in lacrosse
• Lacrosse Stick: white or black head is preferred. Mesh pocket is HIGHLY recommended (not the Standard/Traditional pocket).
• Mouth Guard – yellow is recommended because the ref and coaches can see it well, other colors are acceptable. Follow molding instructions. Buy one with a strap so you can attach it to the helmet
• Cup and holder. This will probably feel more comfortable if worn over the right type of underwear or shorts. Meaning…. Compression-type shorts or brief style that has legs that go into the thigh area. Over boxers or gym shorts is a secondary choice.
• Footwear: sneakers for indoor practices (basketball type recommended; don’t wear running sneakers/running shoes); rubber molded cleats for grass and for playing on the new artificial turf fields

• Optional: rib pads are options, but highly recommended the West Metro league
