ONLINE LACROSSE STORES:
Many online stores offer boys starter sets that include sticks, helmet, shoulder pads, elbow pads and gloves. Your average cost ranges from $100 to $200 for sets without a helmet, and approximately $250 for sets that include helmets. Some starter sets offer different equipment groupings as well, some with and without helmets and sticks, so look around and find the set that best fits your needs and budget.
Be sure to read our EQUIPMENT BUYING GUIDE for tips on where, what, and how to purchase equipment at the best price.
The starter sets for girls is much simpler due to the difference in equipment needed. Most come with a stick, goggles and a stick bag.
GENERAL TIPS: online vendors will often have starter kits or package deals. Those are perfect for younger and beginner players. Boys packages typically include shoulder pads, gloves, and elbow pads. Some packages also include a helmet and possibly even a stick. Currently, there appears to be issues in the equipment supply chains that are creating some shortages of these starter kits. The starter kits are much less readily available online as they have been in past years. Dick's Sporting Goods appears to have the best selection currently, but the other links below may have options available as more equipment becomes available.
