Required Equipment to Play Lacrosse
​
For players just getting started in lacrosse, we know that finding the right equipment can be a bit confusing, and perhaps, even a little intimidating. It’s important to know that there are key differences in the required protective equipment between the boys’ and girls’ game, as well as between field players and goalies.
​
Minimal equipment is required in girls’ and women’s lacrosse due to its non-contact nature. A stick, mouthguard and protective eyewear are the only required items for most players. Headgear and close fitting gloves are optional for field players.
Goalies are also required to wear a helmet with face mask, a separate throat protector, padded gloves and a chest protector.
Boys field players are required to use a helmet, stick, gloves, shoulder pads, arm pads, a mouthguard and a protective cup. Rib pads are optional.
Goalies are also required to wear a helmet with face mask, a separate throat protector, padded gloves and a chest protector.
**NOTE**Effective January 1, 2022, chest protector/pads for boys’ field players must be designed for lacrosse and meet NOCSAE standard ND200.
