Girls Equipment
Girls from Kindergarten to 12th grade need a stick and must wear protective eye goggles or headgear. They must also wear a mouth guard and cleats or turf shoes. 8U (K-2) may wear sneakers. They may optionally wear fitted gloves for a little padding or protection from the cold, however many players don't wear gloves because they prefer the feel of the stick without gloves.
Further down this page you will find some of our women's gear recommendations and links to retailers. It is worth noting that a set of gear can last for several years so if you are say a 4th grader playing 12U, you might want to consider a stick that will be good at 14U too, etc.
All About Sticks
There are many excellent prestrung women's sticks available. Generally speaking, quality increases with price, but just like a performance sports car isn't the best option for a new driver, the "best" sticks are not always appropriate for newer players. Here is a list of several sticks that we feel offer good value and that are a good match for newer players. The term complete stick refers to a stick that is off the shelf with a strung head and a handle. There are also numerous reviews of these sticks online. Head to Tama Lacrosse in Kirkland or Dick's Sporting Goods at Northgate to see them in person.

Goggles and Headgear
Goggles or headgear (the thing that looks like a helmet) are worn to protect the eye sockets and face. The brand and/or model is really about personal preference and most will fit a variety of faces. Goggles do not fit over eye glasses so if the player wears glasses to play they will need to get headgear. Any goggle that fits and is relatively comfortable (we want our players to keep the goggles on) will be fine as long as it has an SEI certification stamp. You can try on and purchase several different models at Tama Lacrosse in Kirkland, Play It Again Sports in Lynnwood (they carry new gear in addition to used and offer a 10% discount for Shoreline Lacrosse), and at Dick's Sporting Goods in Northgate, or order online from any lacrosse retailer. The Cascade women's LX headgear (one size) is stocked at Tama Lacrosse and Play It Again Sports but not at Dick's. It is also widely available online.

Neither our club nor league have any restrictions on color, so you can choose any color you want. If you feel like you want to match our team uniforms, your best bets are teal, navy blue, black, white, or gray.
Gloves
Gloves are completely optional for girls. They offer a little padding but unlike for the boys, there is no stick checking to the hands in the girls game. Some players will wear them in colder weather for warmth, but many other players feel like they lose touch on the stick while wearing gloves.
Starter Bundles
Several retailers offer starter bundles that include stick, goggles or headgear and a bag. These can be a good value but are mostly aimed at the lower grades. Players in 7th grade and up will want to get their gear a la carte.
