Program Cost

In addition to the SYLA cost, each player is required to become a member of the US Lacrosse . This has benefits which includes; insurance for the program,US Lacrosse magazine subscription, other information. Please click on the link below to register for US Lacrosse.

As an FYI, any K-2 boys player participating in full equipment/pads WILL NOT be permitted to use a “Fiddle stick and/or mini lacrosse stick”. The main reason behind this requirement is that a regulation lacrosse ball gets wedged into the throat/bottom rail of the stick and provides that player an unfair advantage. Additionally, all sticks must measure 37” in length (Top of the head to bottom of the shaft). If you need your stick shorter than 37”, please inquire with the coach staff before cutting the stick.

Equipment Needed

  • Lacrosse Stick

A stick is all the child will need at this level; they will be practicing with a soft lacrosse ball, so no other equipment is needed.

Additional Boys Equipment requirements:

  • Lacrosse Helmet (Cascade CS is youth size)
  • Mouth guard
  • Gloves designed for boy’s lacrosse
  • Arm pads designed for boy’s lacrosse
  • Shoulder pads designed for boy’s lacrosse
