Equipment

Equipment to be Supplied by Player (Youth/Men’s)

Field lacrosse requires as a minimum a CSA or NOCSAE approved helmet and facemask, mouth guard, gloves, shoulder pads, arm pads, back & kidney pads, athletic support & cup, and lacrosse stick.

Footwear should be soccer or football cleats (non-metal).

Note that shoulder pads are mandatory pieces of equipment and must be worn at games, practices and evaluations.

Equipment to be Supplied by Player (Women’s)

Women’s field lacrosse equipment differs from Youth/Men’s field lacrosse equipment greatly. Protective eyewear/lacrosse goggles, mouth guard and CLA-approved women’s lacrosse stick (the head differs from the youth/men’s stick – click here for diagram) are required.

Footwear should be soccer or football cleats (non-metal).

It is imperative that players remember to maintain in good condition and bring their jersey and shorts to all games (as the team does not carry spares), as this brings a professional look to the team and to Surrey Lacrosse. Players must also remember to check their equipment and sticks before leaving for games or practices to ensure all are in good working order and accounted for in their bag.

Uniforms

Uniforms are supplied for all players for the season.

Please keep in mind that uniforms are a big expense for SLA and taking proper care of them is extremely important.

These uniforms are only being loaned out to the players and do not belong to our players.  Therefore players should not be wearing the club uniform for purposes other than lacrosse games. If players are unable to comply with this then we will have no other alternative but to implement a charge for the usage of uniforms.

DO NOT WEAR YOUR JERSEY FOR PRACTICES!

Proper care of uniforms:

  • Uniforms must be washed inside out and hung to dry
  • Please do not put uniform in the dryer
  • Please do not cut the tags off the uniforms
  • Uniforms are to be worn for games only

Shorts are supplied as part of the registration fee and are the player’s to keep. Please check the size for your child’s shorts at registration day. Then make a note on the top left edge of your registration form as to what size shorts your child needs for this season.  This should ensure that each player has shorts that will properly fit them.
