Junior Equipment – Club Policy
Lacrosse specific equipment - a stick, helmet, gloves and arm and chest padding and a 'pinny' (that's lacrosse speak for a reversible bib) are all available to borrow. Players will really benefit from owning their own stick as soon as possible and should look to obtain their own set of equipment – as soon as birthdays and Christmases allow.
For most events players will generally need to wear sports clothing. As with the seniors, most games are played on grass with the occasional game on artificial pitches - suitable footwear will be required.
The club provides playing jerseys for games.
