Selecting the proper gear for your child can be a daunting task. We're here to guide you through the process, so you'll be an expert in no time.

When shopping for your son's first set of gear, please consider the following:
There are three levels of protection for a player's arms: arm guards, arm pads and elbow guards/pads. We do not recommend elbow guards/pads for youth lacrosse.
When your child reaches the U12 age bracket, it may be time to consider a backup stick. Your son should be using his stick 2-3 times per week outside of regularly scheduled practices by this point.
U8 & U10 Boys should consider youth sized sticks by StringKing, Powell, Signature or Warrior
SIZING: https://www.sportstop.com/size-charts
Helmet brands have varying shelf lives according to the manufacturer. Cascade helmets are generally good for 3 years before requiring a recertification. Warrior helmets are certified for 5 years from the date of manufacturer. Always best to buy a new or lightly used helmet for your son.
The easiest and most stress free way to get started with gear is to buy a starter set:
