Footwear
It is recommended that the footwear worn for lacrosse be kept solely for that purpose. Arena floors are slick and shoes grip well. Absolutely no hairspray or coca-cola to be used in the dry arena floors. Basketball shoes are good as are indoor soccer shoes. A helpful suggestion for some of the younger pre-adult sized kids: Women’s runners for those boys in the boys size 3-6, women’s 5-8 offer better support and last longer than most boys runners.
Knee Pads
The use of knee pads is recommended for the younger divisions especially for outdoor games as some of the boxes are rough and have debris on the floor.
