Equipment | What to Buy 

You can buy used, new or even borrow equipment to get started but the most important thing is to do your homework and find out what to get.  The listed gear is a small batch of what is out there, and you don't have to buy the most expensive it just has to give a player a good playing experience. 

Look at the gear on this page to get an idea of what you need; most if not all of the equipment listed I have used or tested.  The protective equipment is a personal fit and comfort preference, the shafts come down to strength.  The most important purchase would be your lacrosse head, there are low end heads that can really impact a players experience so to you time and find a quality, durable head for your playing style.

Lacrosse Heads
A lacrosse head is the most important piece of equipment a player will use.  How a head performs can impact a players confidence as well as how a player performs.  Players don't have to spend a fortune on a head but they need to make sure they buy the right head for what position they play. 

I have strung up countless heads over the years for all different types of players at all skill levels to include myself.  I have also been lucky enough to play with all different kinds of heads but there have been a few that have really made an impression on me that I would recommend on this page.

 Knowing how a player plays and wants their head set up will help them decide which head they should buy.  Players that cradle with one hand wrapping the crease may want a head designed for a mid-low or low pocket while a north-south dodger may want a head with a narrow face shape and great ball retention to make it through the close defense.

Shafts
Lacrosse shafts are categorized by Offense, Defense, & Goalie.  
The shafts on this site are all quality and used at all levels.  Note many players often use a Middie/Attack shafts for Goalie.
​
Shafts
Mesh
Mesh breaks down due to rain, mud, friction, overuse and is something that needs to be replaced almost every season.  The condition of the mesh can affect how the ball releases and holds in the pocket so when your player comes home and says the coach says I need new mesh it's for this reason.

All this mesh listed can be found through the links listed Wonderland Lacrosse, and all this mesh performs well and is really a player's preference.  Not all mesh comes with strings and shooters so remember these or your player will have no way to attach the mesh to their head.

Mesh
Protective gear
Protective gear is just that, but it is also about fit and comfort.  Your player needs equipment that fits properly and feels like it is a part of them so they can focus on their performance and not how they feel.
