The helmet is mandatory protective gear for every lacrosse player. In box lacrosse, the standard is a CSA-approved hockey helmet with a certified facemask. These meet safety standards and are available at major sporting retailers.
Approved helmet options:
NOCSAE-approved field lacrosse helmet
CSA-approved hockey helmet + CSA-approved hockey facemask
CSA-approved hockey helmet + CSA-approved lacrosse facemask
Gloves are essential in box lacrosse. They protect your hands and fingers from checks, slashes, and impacts while giving you the grip and stick control you need in tight, physical play.
Recommended gloves include Northland PRO Gloves and Northland Intermediate Youth Gloves, both designed by Canadian pros with reinforced impact foam, moisture-wicking liners, and palms built for performance in the box.

Lacrosse sticks break down into two parts: the head and the shaft, so players can customize their setup for performance.
Head: The part that catches and throws the ball.
Shaft: The handle, typically lightweight yet durable.
For a ready-to-play option, Northland PRO Complete Sticks come professionally strung with a quality head and shaft.

Box lacrosse is physical. Shoulder pads protect your shoulders, chest, and back from heavy impacts. Good pads balance coverage with mobility, letting you play hard without worrying about injury.
Bicep pads protect your upper arms — a frequently hit area in box lacrosse. They absorb checks and collisions while letting you move freely. Lightweight, flexible padding means protection without restriction.
Elbow pads guard elbows and forearms from checks, falls, and contact. Box lacrosse demands higher-impact protection than field lacrosse, so choose pads designed for the box game. Field pads often fall short.
Kidney pads shield your lower back and sides. They absorb hits and reduce injury risk in this sensitive area. Designed to be light and flexible, kidney pads add important protection without slowing you down.
