Equipment
Each player will require the following basic equipment: Helmet & facemask, mouth guard, gloves, shoulder & elbow pads, athletic support, shorts/sweats, shoes, and a lacrosse stick. Specialized lacrosse equipment is available, but hockey helmets, gloves, shoulder & elbow pads can be used and provide proper protection. Players wishing to play defence should invest in their own long pole so that they can master the long pole outside of scheduled events.
