Lacrosse is exciting and fun! The game of lacrosse was created by the Iroquois nearly 1,000 years ago and is a combination of basketball, hockey and soccer - it is also the fastest growing sport in the country!

Registration generally begins mid-December and continues through late January.  Be sure to follow MTLLA on social media to be kept up-to-date on registration announcements and introductory clinics.

Locally, Top String Lacrosse and Dicks Sporting Goods both carry quality lacrosse equipment and starter kits.

Also, check out USA Lacrosse's Youth Lacrosse Equipment Guide and the following equipment recommendations:

• Girls Lacrosse Starter Kits (girls stick, goggles and storage bag) are a great way to get all the right equipment for new laxers!
• Mouthguard and mouthguard case - "Insta-fit" mouth guards are recommended for our 1st and 2nd grade players if there are not used to having a mouth protector in while exercising.  3rd-8th grade players can use whatever type of protective mouthguard they like, but you MUST mold or re-mold your daughter’s mouthguard to their ever-changing mouth shape PRIOR TO THE FIRST PRACTICE!  Mouth guards can be any color EXCEPT CLEAR.
• Cleats/Turf shoes (soccer cleats are fine)
• Gloves (optional for cold weather practices/games)
• Navy or black base layers should be worn under game day uniforms in cold weather. (3rd-8th graders)
• Navy or black spandex shorts should be worn under game day uniform kilts in warmer weather. (3rd-8th graders)
• Stick length: For younger players, please consider taking the end cap off your daughter’s standard-length stick shaft and cutting down the length of the stick with a small serrated blade hacksaw.  Measure along the length of the player’s arm to know how much to cut.  The shaft should run from the tip of the player’s center finger to the back of their shoulder (Add a few inches to account for your daughter’s continuing height increases, so you’re not buying a new stick after every growth spurt!).
