What equipment does my daughter need?
Players are required to have an approved girls lacrosse stick, approved goggles, and a colored mouth guard (not white or clear).  Some girls like to wear gloves when it is colder. Coaches will assist with proper stick lengths and pocket depth based on the size/age of the player.

What is the proper stick length?
A stick must be an overall length of 35.5 - 43.25 inches. The head must be seven to nine inches wide. The pocket of the stick must be strung traditionally; no mesh is allowed. The top of the ball when dropped in the pocket must remain above the side walls. A Modified Pocket is allowed in girls youth rules U9 and U11. Younger players may use an arms length stick if appropriate.

Hint for newer players: At the US Lacrosse coaches clinic, the instructors suggested putting a piece of tape on the stick to help the girls learn where to hold their top hand for throwing and shooting. The top hand should be held about 1/3 or the way down from the head.

When are practices?
The season begins Sundays in early March with indoor practice at Forekicks in Marlborough. Outdoor practices begin in late March/early April after the Town of Bolton opens the fields. Practice days and times are set by the team coaches and are typically scheduled once or twice during the week and/or Saturday.
