Equipment Requirements
Boys (grades 1-8): Stick, helmet, mouthguard, shoulder pads, elbow pads, gloves, athletic cup, cleats.
The boys’ league requires everyone in grades 3-8 to have the new shoulder pads that meet NOCSAE ND200 and SEI CERTIFIED (https://www.usalacrosse.com/lacrosse-chest-protector-faq). You will NOT be able to play if your pads are not compliant.
Girls (grades 1-8): Stick, mouth guard, goggles, cleats.
The investment for lacrosse equipment is significant. If you are unfamiliar with the game or unsure if your child will enjoy it, please email the GRAA so we can try to match you up with used equipment before making an investment. We don’t want this to be a barrier for anyone to try the sport.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING EVERYONE ON THE FIELDS THIS SPRING! WE ARE GR!
Philosophy
There are no cuts in GRAA Lacrosse. Children develop differently and at different ages, so we believe it is important to welcome all players into our program. If they are willing to put in the practice and hard work, they will find a way onto the field. The goal is to provide fair playing time for all players throughout the season, however, playing time will vary from game to game, quarter to quarter and depending on the situation. We do not believe in cuts to accommodate an optimal roster size. As such, we allow our coaches to schedule additional “JV” games should they have more than 19 players on their roster to ensure ample playing time for all players. Our coaches are volunteer parents who have mostly played in high school and often at high levels of NCAA Lacrosse. All coaches are required to have USA Lacrosse (the governing body of lacrosse in the US) training and certification.
