The
Crosse: The
crosse must be an overall length of 40 - 42 inches. The head of the
crosse must be 6.5 - 10 inches wide, except a goalie's crosse which
may be 10-12 inches wide. The pocket of a crosse shall be deemed illegal
if the top surface of a lacrosse ball, when placed in the head of
the crosse, is below the bottom edge of the side wall. These can be
purchased at Dick's or Sport Authority. However, with advance registration
we can order these in bulk and save you money.
The Helmet: A protective helmet, equipped with face mask,
chin pad and a cupped four point chin strap fastened to all four hookups,
must be worn by all male players. These must be ordered through PAL
to assure the same color scheme.
The Mouthpiece: The mouthpiece is mandatory.

gloves. The cutting or altering of gloves is prohibited. This year
street hockey gloves will be acceptable

of the goalkeeper, must wear shoulder pads. Arm pads and rib pads
are also strongly recommended, as are athletic supporters and protective
cups for all players. The goalkeeper is required to wear a throat

and gloves.
