Equipment Needs in General
Female players will need a lacrosse stick, mouth guard, ASTM protective eyewear, and cleats. Gloves are optional.
Sizing Guide
The number one question we receive about girl’s equipment is how to measure for a proper fitting stick. Here is a short video to guide you: Youth Lacrosse Stick Sizing Guide | LACROSSE.COM - YouTube
USA Lacrosse put together this guide to assist with sizing and equipment needs, as well. Dick's Sporting Goods also has goggles/gloves information found here and buying checklists here .
