Buying used equipment
Used gear can help save money when you know your sizes and what to look for. When buying used shoulder pads, make sure they are NOCSAE ND200 certified.
Buying new equipment
Lacrosse Monkey and Lacrosse Unlimited offer a wide range of equipment online. Starter kits can be a good option for young, brand-new players.
Local stores & expert fitting
The Lax Shack is located inside Hockey Haven in Brookfield, with a turf area for trying gear and expert advice. Hot4Lax is another local option. If you are unsure about equipment or fit, visit a specialty store or ask your coach.
