Players must provide their own equipment

(SLA does have limited stock of equipment for sale and for rent to qualifying players; see the Equipment pages on the menu to the left for details) 

Beginning January 1, 2022, due to changes made by USA Lacrosse in the governing rules for the sport, all shoulder pads and goalie chest protectors must be designed for lacrosse and meet NOCSAE standard ND200.  Pads must contain the NOCSAE logo and SEI certification mark on both the packaging and the product to be legal for play. Please see the USA Lacrosse website on this topic for more information.
