Men's lacrosse allows more contact than women's lacrosse. As a result, more protective equipment is needed.

The Key West Youth Lacrosse League will rent required gear for $25 per season (first-come, first-served). You will only need to bring a mouthguard. If you did not indicate you needed gear during registration but now wish to rent from the League, contact the equipment coordinator for availability at: [email protected].

 
The following equipment is required:

Head/Eye Protection

• A protective helmet, equipped with face mask, chin pad and a cupped four point chin strap fastened to all four hookups, must be worn by all players.

• All players, with the exception of the goalkeeper, must wear shoulder pads.
  
• Arm pads are required.

• Strapped mouthguards are available in youth and adult sizes. No clear mouthguards allowed!
• Options for braces are also offered.

 
Gloves

• All players are required to wear protective gloves. The cutting or altering of gloves is prohibited.

Goalies must wear a throat protector and chest protector, in addition to a helmet, mouthpiece, gloves and a protective cup.

Lacrosse stick 

• We recommend using an attack/midfield men's lacrosse stick for most players.
• If playing other positions, older (U16) players may consider a longer stick specialized for defense or a goalie stick.
