Lacrosse Gear

What gear do you need to play boys’ lacrosse?

All players will need full boys’ lacrosse gear, including a helmet, shoulder pads (ND200 compliant), arm pads, gloves, mouthguard, stick, athletic cup, and cleats.

Lacrosse gear doesn’t have to be expensive — many families purchase gently-used equipment through Play It Again Sports, Facebook Marketplace, or from players who have outgrown their gear. Most pieces can be reused for several seasons.

We also keep a limited supply of loaner and donated gear. If your player needs help getting outfitted, please reach out — we’re happy to help and want every Mt. Spokane athlete to be able to play.
