∙ 15y agoIn Lacrosse you use a stick, consisting of two parts, the head and the shaft. You also wear protective equipment such as a Helmet, Shoulder Pads, Arm Pads, Gloves, and sometimes rib pads. Rib Pads are not required. In mens there is generally the shoulder pads, arm pads, gloves, the cup, the helmet, and the stick which is either the short stick or the defensive pole. In womens the equipment is basically a stick the length of a mens short stick, optional gloves, and goggles. Both have to wear mouthguards because no one wants to lose teeth. Both have goalies that wear chest pads and helmets with thigh pads. The shin guards are preferred but are mainly up to the goalie or the coach as well as any other pads. I'm not sure about mens lacrosse but for womens all you need is an approved stick, mouthguard, and eye protection goggles. Men use helmets, gloves, elbow/arm guards/protectors, chest pads, a stick (made up of the shaft and head), a cup, and optionaly rib guards (very useful for midis and attack because you get slap and poke checked a lot). Men's and women's lacrosse require different equipment, since the rules for the sport are different. Men's lacrosse equipment: Lacrosse cleats or an athletic tennis shoe An athletic supporter and athletic cup Chest and shoulder pads Arm guards Helmet with full face mask Lacrosse stick with head Lacrosse ball Mouthguard Women's lacrosse equipment: Lacrosse cleats or an athletic tennis shoe Lacrosse goggles Lacrosse stick with head Lacrosse ball Mouthguard

Trying Out for the Lacrosse Team: Necessary Lacrosse Equipment?
Lacrosse is a competitive and rough sport. Failing to buy the adequate safety gear can mean one suffers tremendous injuries. Before trying out for the lacrosse team, there are a few items any youth should buy. Over the years, lacrosse has become a very physical sport. The nature of lacrosse is such that players constantly push one another around on the field. In many instances, pushing other players around is just part of the game and a completely "legal" activity in the context of lacrosse. The game is physical for both boys and girls. The only difference is that each sport requires different gender-based safety gear. For boys, the typical lacrosse equipment needed is a crosse and lacrosse ball. The lacrosse ball comes in different colors, so a boy should be sure to see if a coach has any specifications for a particular color. Some coaches only like to use 5 oz. orange lacrosse balls. Other coaches have no preference for the color of lacrosse balls that players choose to use. For safety equipment, boys will need a mouth guard, chin strap, shoulder pads, and gloves. Also, boys should be sure to use protective cups and arm pads. In some games, the referees may require boys to wear protective cups and arm pads. For girls, the typical lacrosse equipment remains the same. Girls need a crosse to play, as well as a 5 oz. lacrosse ball. Girls should also be sure to check with a lacrosse coach for any preferences in the color of lacrosse ball used. Girls also need to wear a mouth guard, gloves, eye-wear, and nose protection gear for the sport. Goalies may need to wear additional throat and pelvic protection. Some refs also require girls to wear abdominal protective gear. Protective gear for lacrosse can be quite expensive. One of the best ways to buy lacrosse gear is to put in a bulk order with a team of girls or boys. Some websites will offer discounts for bulk orders. Some websites will also offer free shipping when teams spend a certain amount of money on the site. In addition to the equipment listed here, a coach may require a team member to invest in a practice jersey or uniform. Some school teams provide the uniforms for lacrosse, while other school teams do not have the funds to purchase uniforms for the team. If a team does not have funding for uniforms, then seeking donations from local businesses is a good idea.
What is the difference between volleyball and hockey?
No, lacrosse is not the same thing as field hockey. In field hockey you use a stick with a curved base on the ground and hit it to your team mate, or you can dribble it up the field. The goal in field hockey is much bigger than a lacrosse goal. In lacrosse you throw and catch a ball using a stick with a net and you can run with the ball in you stick. Lacrosse is a much faster paced game too. In lacrosse you wear eye protection and a mouth guard, in field hockey you wear shin guards and a mouth guard. Both sports are really fun.
