Financial Assistance & Equipment Information

  • Financial Assistance & FREE Loaner Equipment

    If finances are a barrier to your athlete participating, we have a number of reduced rates available. Please do not hesitate to reach out, no questions asked. We always make it work. Email: Elise@SDGirlsLax.com

    Free loaner sticks and goggles are available for any athlete to borrow. We understand the financial situation of buying equipment and certainly don’t want that to be a reason for a child to miss out on the great sport of lacrosse!

    We also recommend to new players to use our free loaner equipment before making the commitment to purchase equipment.

  • Required Equipment

    Lacrosse equipment:
    —stick
    —goggles
    —mouthguard

    Footwear:
    —Cleats or athletic shoes
    —Cleats are not required, however they’re highly recommened for 3rd-12th for safety purposes
    —For K-2nd, athletic shoes are OK

    Additional gear:
    —water bottle
    —In the fall, winter, & spring seasons it is always recommended to bring a sweatshirt! We’re right by the ocean and it can get chilly in the evening.

  • Stick

    Buying a stick can be a challenging task! The stick you choose depends on your level, your commitment to the sport, & the financial investment you want to make. Lacrosse Unlimited (858) 509-3719 in Solana Beach is a great place to visit with the experts to learn which stick is best for your child, especially for our high school athletes.

    If you’re purchasing a stick on your own, please feel to reach out to ensure it’s a girls stick!! We have many athletes who have bought boys sticks by mistake, which are not legal for our game.

    For our Lil’ Laxers age 7 & under, HERE is a great stick (options are small for this age group). For youth & middle, HERE is a great lower-priced starter stick.

  • Goggles

    The great thing about buying goggles is that most of our athletes use the same pair!

    IMPORTANT! Everyone has a different size face, & sometimes a larger goggle is better for some than others. It’s best to try 2 sizes and see which fits better.

    5th/6th-12th grade: HERE
    FYI: Most high school athletes prefer black so that they match their uniforms.

    2nd-4th/5th grade: HERE

    K-2nd: HERE

  • Mouthguard

    Mouthguards are a personal preference but we do highly recommend buying one that is moldable. Every mouth is different!

    Check out brand new Triad Mouthguards, a San Diego female-owned local brand (!!) HERE! This mouthguard is also made for athletes with braces.

    Or for the most inexpensive youth moldable mouthguard, go HERE. For an inexpensive adult size (age 10 or 11 & up), go HERE.

    Dick’s Sporting Goods also has a large selection of mouthguards.

  • Jewelry & Pierced Ears

    If your child is thinking of piercing her ears, don’t do it right before or during the spring season!

    Athletes are not allowed to have any jewelry on during our spring season games. Taped ears are not accepted by the refs.

    Earrings typically must remain in for 6-8 weeks after piercing. Summer is always the best time to do this if you have a child in sports. Our first spring rec games start late February. Please plan accordingly.
