Boy's Equipment
    Currently, we don't have a specific program for
    U6
    (typically kindergarteners are included in our U8 program), but in case of a
    future U6 program, the only equipment needed is a stick (see the U8 "Field
    Stick" requirements below) and gloves. Cleats are also encouraged for field
    activity, but not required. No helmet, shoulder pads, or elbow pads needed.

* All boys up to U14 must have play with NOCSAE certified ND200 shoulder
    pads. These are new as of two years ago so be sure to check with a coach
    before using used shoulder pads (as they may not be the right type).
**
    D-Poles are allowed starting in the U10 level, and though they are allowed
    to be up to 72", their total length cannot exceed the height of the
    individual using the pole.
    Important Note About U8/U10 Equipment
    For the younger groups, U8 and U10, Most of the pads can be bought as a
        kit through online stores like
        lax.com
        or
        lacrossemonkey.com.
Additional, there are hundreds of players who have played
        in the area in previous years. Second hand pads are a great option for
        the first couple of years. Reach out to [email protected]
        if you have questions about this.
