What equipment do you need?

The focus of City League is to develop athletes with the emphasis on stick skills and lacrosse smarts!  We will teach your child to play lacrosse in only a few weeks!  We de-emphasize body contact in order to provide the best learning environment for newer or recreational players.  Contact in City League is progressive, so for the younger ages it is stick-check only, and the older ages it is place and push cross-checking and light body-checking.  The contact progression looks like this:

- U7 & U9 - stick check only.
- U11 & U13 - stick check + place and push cross checking.
- Senior (U15 & U17) - stick check, place and push, body contact between equally matched players.

Minimum equipment requirements: 

U7 - Helmet, mouthguard, gloves - may wish to include arm guards
U9, U11, U13 & Senior - full equipment

***Please note: Oshawa Blue Knights supply all of the goaltending equipment for City League with the exception of helmet, mouthguard, gloves, and shoes.
