Box Lacrosse Player Equipment Guidelines
No jewelry allowed, medical alert jewelry acceptable.
ShortsBLACK shorts are mandatory and to be worn by all players in all games. Items can be ordered through our booster Link.
Footwear
It is recommended that the footwear worn for lacrosse be kept solely for that purpose. Arena floors are slick and shoes grip well. Basketball shoes are good as are indoor soccer shoes. A helpful suggestion for some of the younger pre-adult sized kids: Women’s runners for those boys in the boys size 3-6, women’s 5-8 offer better support and last longer than most boys runners.
Knee Pads
The use of knee pads is recommended for the younger divisions (U7-U9) especially for outdoor games as some of the boxes are rough and have debris on the floor.
