Girls Lacrosse Equipment Purchasing Guide
For those starting out, knowing what equipment you need can be overwhelming! For girls lacrosse you need a mouthguard, WOMEN'S stick, and goggles. Cleats are highly recommended and soccer cleats work just fine.
How do I tell the difference between a girls stick and a boys stick?
You can see the ball over the sidewall when it's placed in a girls stick. A boys stick will have a deep pocket that the ball sinks into.

Sticks
We highly recommend getting a high quality stick right off the bat. These sticks are on the pricier side but are far superior and will last you at least 4 seasons. The more advanced sticks have much better design that actually makes a big difference when it comes to ease of play. Beginner sticks are actually harder to play with. The following sticks are what I currently recommend for 2024.
Gait-Whip (this is a really good deal these are typically almost $300)
Recommended stick brands for WOMEN's Sticks: Gait, STX, ECD, and EPOCH
STAY AWAY FROM: BRINE WARP, STRING KING brand, AND BRIGHTLY COLORED STICK (Black or white sticks tend to be better)

Mouth Guard
These mouth guards are light weight yet effective and can be used with braces if you follow the instructions. MOUTH GUARDS MUST BE MOLDED TO YOUR MOUTH ONCE YOU GET THEM! You can do this at home. NO WHITE OR CLEAR MOUTHGUARDS!
Goggles
There are youth goggles and adult goggles, all are for females. Most girls 14+ wear adult and they are all adjustable. For those with a particularly small face, youth can work. No real advantage based on price. This is what you're looking for!
