What is equipment is required?
For the boys:
- Mouth Guards for boys and girls are required at all levels.
- Soccer Style cleats acceptable.
- Lacrosse sticks must be legal length. The ball cannot be visible below the bottom edge of the head sidewall.
First Step through Fourth Grade:
Although LMYL strongly recommends the purchase of a certified lacrosse helmet, the use of ice hockey helmets is allowed from the First Step through the Fourth grade levels. Other hockey equipment (shoulder pads and elbow pads) may also be used. Hockey gloves do not work for lacrosse at any level, as they have a stiff, non-flexible thumb. Protective cups should be worn by 3rd and 4th graders.
5th ,6th ,7th and 8th Grade:
Only certified lacrosse helmets may be used. Hockey shoulder pads work, but elbow pads and gloves will not work. Lacrosse specific gloves and elbow/forearm pads are needed. Rib pads, while not required, are valuable. This is particularly true if your son is playing on a travel team. Protective cups are required by all players in these grades.
Required: stick, cleats, mouth guard, jock and cup, shoulder pads, elbow guards, gloves, helmet.
Optional (but recommended): rib guard
For the girls:
- Mouth Guards for boys and girls are required at all levels.
- Soccer style cleats acceptable.
- Protective eyewear now required for all girls.
Girls’ lacrosse sticks must be the proper length. Have child hold the stick where the shaft meets the head. Measure the shaft along length of arm until armpit; mark, cut and recap. The pocket should be tight and shallow and you should be able to see the ball above the rim of the head.
U.S. Lacrosse approved protective goggles are now required for all girls participating in the LMYL lacrosse program. This includes girls in the recreation program, as well as in the travel program.
To whom do I direct questions?
Questions regarding team practices or games should be directed to your child’s coach (coaches will be assigned before Opening Day).
