Practices are typically 2 or 3 days/week. Days and times will be determined by the coaches in conjunction with parents.

EQUIPMENT NEEDS:
Required:
- stick - Any new or used stick will do. About 99% of store bought new sticks will have pockets that are not conducive to learning basic lacrosse skills, PPL coaches suggest having ALL stick pockets restrung based on the players ability and throwing style, especially new sticks.
- lacrosse helmet - Cascade R and Warrior Regulator helmets have been recalled and will not be allowed for us during practice or games.
- mouth guard - please buy an extra mouthpiece to place in your gear bag.
- lacrosse shoulder pads - NOCASE ND 200 compliant shoulder pads are required as of January 1, 2022.
- arm guards (some kids prefer smaller elbow pads but they leave more skin exposed that can get nailed by a lacrosse ball)
- lacrosse gloves
- protective cup
Optional:
- rib pads (protect ribs and kidneys from fast flying ball and stick checks)
- cleats (recommended. Good for playing on natural turf)
- large duffle bag and water bottle
