Lacrosse Equipment Checklist

Boys' and girls' lacrosse are different‐the major difference being that hitting and checking are allowed for boys and not for girls‐they use different equipment.
 

Boys' Lacrosse Equipment
 

Because hitting and checking is allowed in boy’s lacrosse, more protective equipment is required. The emphasis in all programs is on safety, fun, and learning the skills and game of lacrosse. Boys’ protective equipment should include:

• A helmet with attached mouth guard
• Shoulder pads
• Elbow pads
• Gloves
• Protective cup and jock strap
• Cleats

Girls’ Lacrosse Equipment
 

Girls play to a different set of non‐contact rules than boys with limited equipment needs. The emphasis in all programs is on safety, fun, and learning the skills and game of lacrosse.     Girls’ protective equipment should include:
 

• A mouth guard (mandatory)
• Protective eyewear (mandatory)
• Padded gloves (these are optional but recommended)
• Cleats

Note: female lacrosse players (other than goalies) are not required to wear helmets
