Equipment

For current regulations, please view the USA Lacrosse Equipment Guide 

  • Brownsburg Youth Lacrosse players are responsible for providing their own basic equipment - required pads (noted below) and a short stick.  Specialized equipment (defense/long sticks and goalie gear) will be provided by the club.
  • Through U.S. Lacrosse's First Stick Grant we have approximately 24 sets of equipment available for rental. This offers youth a chance to try out lacrosse without a major investment. Please contact Brownsburg Youth Lacrosse for details and availability.
  • STICKS
    • There are three types of sticks used in lacrosse: short, long or goalie.  Each stick has different features for the head, the pocket and the shaft length.
      • SHORT - used by midfielder and attack
        • Head - 6" - 10" wide, multiple shapes that differ for playing style or player preference
        • Pocket - consists of interwoven string, stringing styles vary for playing style or player preference, only requirement is that when ball is placed in pocket the the top edge of the ball cannot be below the lowermost edge of the sidewall of the head
        • Shaft - 40" - 42" long, open, bottom end MUST be covered with a butt-end (often tape is added to ensure it doesn't pop off during play)
      • LONG - used by defense and long-stick midfielder (LSM)
        • Head - 6" - 10" wide, multiple shapes that differ for playing style or player preference
        • Pocket - consists of interwoven string, stringing styles vary for playing style or player preference, only requirement is that when ball is placed in pocket the the top edge of the ball cannot be below the lowermost edge of the sidewall of the head

  • PROTECTIVE  EQUIPMENT
    •  All equipment listed below comes in multiple styles, sizes and as players develop, their preferences change.  The only required items are noted below, but for beginners, starter packages will include gloves, arm pads, shoulder pads.  Other items are purchased separately.
      • HELMET (required) - Goalie helmet will have additional throat protection added
      • GLOVES (required)
      • ARM / ELBOW PADS (required) 
      • SHOULDER PADS (required) - solid breastplate preferred
      • RIB PADS
      • MOUTHGUARD (required)
      • PROTECTIVE CUP (required)
      • Goalies have a larger chest protector and sometimes wear shin guards and padded undergarments.
  • CLEATS
    • There are specific lacrosse shoes, manufactured by traditional lacrosse suppliers, but any soccer or football cleat will work as well. 
  • BALLS
    • Balls are solid rubber and while they bounce, they are much harder than most people imagine - that is why helmets and chest protection are important.
  • GOALS
    • Field lacrosse goals are 6' high by 6' wide and 7' deep.  There are foldable and portable versions available if you are interested in purchasing one for backyard use as well as smaller, flexible pop-up versions that can serve as training aids as well.
