Equipment Needed
1. Stick
- Length of stick must be an overall length of 40 - 42 inches for attackmen and midfielders, or 52 - 72 inches for defensemen
- All heads on the stick must be 6.5 - 10 inches wide, except a goalieās crosse which may be 10 - 12 inches wide
- The pocket shall be deemed illegal if the top surface of a ball, when placed in the head, is below the bottom edge of the side wall
2. Helmet
- Helmets have a 4-point buckling system to assure they stay on and to allow for a better fit
- Goalie helmets need added throat protection
3. Gloves
- Little longer than most fingers but the thumb should be tight enough for good stick control
- It is okay for gloves to be a little large, as long as the padding covers all areas of the hand and wrist
4. Armpads (Elbow)
- Not too tight, but don't let them be loose enough to fall up and down your arm
- They cover the elbow as well as the upper arm and forearm
- Most elbow pads are adjustable and are secured with Velcro straps, so sizing is general in terms of body size
5. Shoulder Pads
- Move your body all directions as you try it on to make sure it's comfortable in all areas of motion
- Most pads are sized according to body type
- To measure, wrap a tape measure around your chest just below your armpits
6. Mouthpiece
7. Cleats
8. Protective Cup
Don't forget water jugs; and a gear bag for all this to go in. The booster club has custom gear bags available at the beginning of the season. |
