The goggles above are the most popular goggles in the women's game right now.  It is suggested that you go to Ultimate Lacrosse in Manchester to try on goggles and see which ones feel like the best fit on your face.  Purchasing goggles is more about the feel of them/finding a comfortable fit, as they all do the same job and protect the face equally for the most part. 

Here are links to the most popular goggles pictures posted above:

1) STX Focus Goggles (most expensive)

2) STX 4Sight Goggles 

3) STX Focus S Goggles 

4) Brine Dynasty Goggles 

**It is highly encouraged to buy Black or Grey googles 

• Mouth guard: a mouth guard is a mandatory piece.  White and clear mouth guards are illegal, so a player with one of those colors will not be able to play in games.  Here are some popular mouth guard options:

  • SISU Aero Mouth guard, click HERE (easy to talk with, but very thin)

  • SISU Go Mouth guard, click HERE (easy to talk with, very thin as well)

  • Shock Doctor Max Mouth Guard, click HERE (thicker mouth guard, harder to talk with)

  • Shock Doctor Max Power Mouth Guard, click HERE (similar to one above)

• Cleats: Here are some popular women's lacrosse cleats. You may also use soccer cleats but lacrosse players do more cutting so the support from lacrosse cleats can be helpful and less risk.

  • Nike Huarache Low-Cut

  • Nike Huarache Mid-Cut

  • Nike Huarache High Tops

  • Under Armour Blur cleats 

  • Clothing: Player will need to make sure they have the following to match our uniforms especially for cold days:

    1. Spandex Shorts/Biker Shorts

    2. White and Black Long Sleeve 

    3. Black leggings

** on cold days, lacrosse rules require the team to have a cohesive uniforms including long-sleeves and plants. Players will not be able to wear different colored long-sleeves or pants on games days. Home=  white jerseys, away = crimson jerseys. 

Optional:

• Gloves: Gloves are not necessary, but during tryouts & the first couple of weeks, they are very helpful! Tryouts week is typically very cold which results in very numb and stiff hands.  Gloves are very helpful to keep your hands warm during tryouts week.  Occasionally, some players like the layer of protection from checking on their hands year round as well. 

  • STX Strike Women's Field Gloves

  • Brine Dynasty Women's Field Gloves

• Stick Tape: Stick tape is not a necessary piece of equipment, but it helps to tape your stick when it's raining so you have a better grip.  Sometimes, butt ends can fall off of sticks easily, so it can help to tape your butt end to your stick.  Additionally, you can use tape to tie down annoying stick strings at the top of your stick. Some players like to tape their sticks for a hand placement guide as well.

All players will be provided with a practice pinnie during tryouts. After tryouts, players will receive backpacks and uniforms.  All gear handed out will need to be turned back in at the end of the season.  Gear that is not turned in will result in a fine placed on student accounts.

• Lacrosse Balls: You can buy lacrosse balls at most sporting goods stores. Women's lacrosse balls are yellow, but we recommend you just don't buy white.

• Rebounders: Using a rebounder is the best way to practice wall ball if you don't have a wall nearby you can throw against.  Here are some rebounders to choose from:

  • Champro Lacrosse Rebounder, click HERE

  • Winwell Lacrosse Rebounder, click HERE

  • STX Lacrosse Rebounder, click HERE

• Goals: there are folding/easy assembly goals that are great to use at home as well as easy to store.  You can always make your own free goal by "shooting" against a fence too and flagging 4 corners to target!
