Lacrosse Equipment Sizing Guide: Finding the Perfect Fit for Your Game

Lacrosse is an exciting sport that requires the right equipment for both safety and performance. At SportStop.com, we understand the importance of finding the perfect fit for your lacrosse gear. Having lacrosse equipment that fits you as best as possible is very important for your safety and comfort.


In this latest blog update, we will be sharing how you can find the right fit for your lacrosse gear, including sizing tips for lacrosse gloves, helmets, shoulder pads and more.


  1. Understanding the Basics

Lacrosse players need specific equipment for optimal safety and enjoyment. The essential items include a lacrosse stick, helmet, mouthguard, cleats or turf shoes, gloves, pads (shoulder, arm, rib), and a bag for carrying gear. Each piece plays a crucial role in the game, so sizing them correctly is really important.


  1. Sizing Lacrosse Gloves

Gloves are crucial for protection and performance. They come in sizes ranging from 8 inches for youth players to 13 inches for adults. The right size depends on your age, weight, height, and hand size. Accurate sizing ensures maximum protection and comfort​​. Don’t forget to check out our range of lacrosse gloves on our website.


  1. Choosing the Right Lacrosse Stick

Stick length varies based on the player's position. Attack and midfield players should opt for a stick measuring between 40 and 42 inches, while defensive players may need a longer shaft between 52 and 72 inches. Goalies require sticks of 60 inches or more. Consider your height, arm length, and playing position when selecting a stick​​.


  1. Helmet Sizing

For helmets, measure your head circumference and compare it with the manufacturer's sizing chart. Most lacrosse helmets are adjustable to ensure a proper fit. It's crucial to get a helmet that fits well for maximum protection​​.


  1. Shoulder & Chest Pad Sizing

Measure your chest circumference and shoulder width for the right shoulder pad size. These measurements are essential for a fit that provides protection and allows mobility​​.


  1. Sizing for Lacrosse Clothing

Measure your chest, waist, hips, and inseam for clothing like jerseys and shorts. Check the specific sizing charts provided by each brand, as sizes can vary​​.
