MOUTH GUARDS
- Must fully cover teeth and be visible color (no clear, white, no teeth graphics) and have no protruding tabs
- Mouthguards come in different sizes, so purchase the best fit for your daughter
- Sepecific recommendations:
- SISU Aero Guard
- SISU Max Guard - good for players with braces
- Game On Mouthguard - no strap
- Tip: Store mouthguard in a case. Rinse mouthguard with water after each use. Clean regularly with toothpaste, mouthwash, or soap and water to prevent bacterial growth
CLEATS
We recommend players wear cleats instead of sneakers or running shoes as cleats will provide more traction and improve safety.
Optional Equipment
The following is optional for all players.
- Womens/girls lacrosse gloves - some players like these for grip on their stick, or for some increased warmth
- Goalies use a different stick and require additional equipment for safety, which is provided by Doublecrosse for each team. Players who play goalie may opt to purchase their own equipment, but is not required. Ask your coach if you would like recommendations.
