Equipment needed for Girls Lacrosse:  
Read here: US Lacrosse Equipment guide

• Girls/Womens Lacrosse Stick (Our favorite brands are STX and StringKing)
• Goggles
• Cleats for outdoor; Sneakers for indoor
• Colored Mouth Guard (not clear) -  If you have a doctor/dentist recommendation for a more specialized mouthguard, please follow their advice.  Otherwise, please find a colored rubberized plastic moldable mouthguard & cut off any material that sticks out of the mouth

No piercings of any kind - players will be required to remove the piercing or choose to forfeit playing in the game. Covering the piercing is against FGLL rules.


Where to buy :

• Specialty lacrosse stores, like Legit Lacrosse in Hanover; Lacrosse Unlimited in Weymouth; Monkey Sports in Norwood. 
• Used sports equipment stores like Play It Again Sports - please familiarize yourself with modern sticks and don't buy earlier models 

Goalie Gear:  

Each coach is supplied with gear by MYL to legally protect your daughter when playing this position.  Many times she will play half  of the game & another girl will switch with her. 

*If your daughter has a skin infection on any given day that is contageous, please notify the coach so that we have her play goalie on a different day.  Open & healing wounds should be covered at all times while playing.  We recommend bring a close fitting long sleeve shirt to wear under the goalie equipment.   The CDC is a great source of up to date medical information about risk & precvention .  Here is an example for ring worm - fungus:  https://www.cdc.gov/fungal/diseases/ringworm/risk-prevention.html  

EQUIPMENT:  

Girls are asked to come to practice ready to play with the required equipment:

• A regulation girl’s or women's lacrosse stick. NO fiddlesticks or boys sticks allowed for games (*Recommendations below) 
• If you're not sure what to get, click on this link for information on How to choose a lacrosse stick for my daughter & options for all levels  
  • Given how quickly girls are picking up lacrosse, if you think your daughter is going to continue playing for a few years, it is worth investing in a mid-level stick. We'll link to some options and recommendations below, but as a general overview: 
    • Entry or beginner players looking for a more economical option can find them for around $50, just be careful that stick is actually regulation size (easily hold a tennis ball) and not the smaller swizzle sticks (which look like they would fit a squash ball) 
    • Beginner and Intermediate players can purchase a good mid-level stick for around $100 - $120
    • Mid-high level could run you $150-$240
    • Elite or advanced players will likely be looking at sticks that are $250 and up 
  • Here's a quick video with Tips on buying a girls lacrosse stick. 
• Lacrosse goggles. Some of the kids versions are quite small - parent tip - have your daughter try them on before buying. All of the places we list below have goggles. 
• Mouth guard.
• Sturdy athletic shoes are a must. We recommend cleats as the fields can get slick with spring weather conditions, but sneakers are fine too. 
• Water bottle.
• A positive attitude :-)
