Stuff For Parents

Equipment Your Boy Needs

Required Equipment (minimum):

• Mouthguard - protect that dental work and beautiful smile.
• Cleats - Artificial Turf versions. Can be ones used for artificial turf sports like Soccer, Football, or Lacrosse
• Full Water Bottle - full each practice.
• Goalies are required to have athletic cup and chin/neck guard for helmet

Recommended Equipment:

• Athletic Cup - recommended, but required for goalies.
• Crosse (aka lacrosse stick) - Recommended that each player has their own stick. We have extras to use. Entry level sticks can be purchased at sporting goods stores locally such as Al's for about $50-$60 for STX brand. Storm Lacrosse in American Fork is highly recommended by some of the coaches for sticks ranging from entry level to higher performance gear (ranging from approx $40 to $300).

Optional Equipment:

• Latex Gloves - on cold days & games. Coach Carl calls them "blue smurf gloves". Helps keep hands warm.
• Balaclava (ski mask) - for cold days & games. Some players like to use these under their helmets. But some find they sweat too much too. Make sure it is thinner as a thick material makes getting a helmet on a real chore.

Recommended Once Your Boy Commits to the Game (Required for Varsity):

• Gloves - We have some pairs JV & new boys can use, but they are limited availability. You can get basic gloves fairly semi-inexpensively in the STX brand at Al's (if in stock, as it does fluxuate each month). Some players will later spend $140-$200 for gloves that are better performing after a few months to a couple of years of play. But basic gloves are fine if your son wants their own gloves.
• Elbow Pads - We have some pairs JV & new boys can use, but they are limited availability. You can get entry level elbow fairly semi-inexpensively in the STX brand at Al's (if in stock, as it does fluxuate each month). Some players will later spend more for nicer elbow pads that are better performing after a year or two of play. But basic level is fine if your son wants their own elbow pads.
• Chest Pads - We have some boys JV and new can use. These strap on over the shoulders and protect the chest from impacts with the ball or other player's sticks. They are required to have the NOCSAE (or EKG "heartbeat" indicator) tag & ratings. Prices can range from $60 to $160 locally for various brands and models.

Good Places to Look for Equipment:
Buying online sometimes is hard to do to ensure the correct and comfortable fit so if you are unsure about items, two places locally that coaches recommend are:

• Storm Lacrosse - Located in Orem. They have expert knowledge on gear and can help you in a lot of ways. Highly recommended by our Coaches.
• Al's Sporting Goods - Located in Orem on the "backside" of University Place (East side closer to the theaters). In season (and pre-season) they have a decent selection of entry to mid level sticks and gear. Make sure to only select boys gear as the girls selections are on the same row.
