Lacrosse gear
To play women’s lacrosse, players need a lacrosse stick, mouthguard, and protective eyewear (goggles). Goalkeepers also wear a helmet, chest and throat protector, gloves, and shin pads.
If you’re new to the sport, don’t worry—the club has some equipment available for beginners to borrow while you get started. Our coaches can also help you choose the right gear if you decide to buy your own.
You can buy lacrosse gear in Australia from Lacrosse Gear – Australia’s leading lacrosse equipment retailer.
Yes — many players order lacrosse gear from overseas retailers, especially from the USA where the sport is more popular and there’s a wider range of equipment. However, it’s important to check shipping costs, delivery times, and import fees, as these can add up.
Also, make sure the gear meets Australian Lacrosse Association rules and safety standards, particularly for protective eyewear and sticks, as not all international equipment is approved for use here.
If you’re unsure, chat with your coach or team manager before purchasing — they can recommend trusted suppliers and brands that meet local requirements.
Some sites include:
Players should wear cleats when playing. Although specific lacrosse cleats can be purchased, football or soccer boots are perfectly suitable to wear.
Pathways
Lacrosse in Australia offers clear pathways from junior club competition through to state and national representation. Players typically start in local club programs, progress to Victorian representative teams, and may then be selected for Australian national teams that compete internationally.
Representative opportunities usually begin from Under 15 or Under 18 level, depending on the state. Trials are run by Lacrosse Victoria, and players are selected based on skill, attitude, and commitment.
Players are invited to attend trials held each year by Lacrosse Victoria. Selection considers on-field performance, teamwork, and sportsmanship during the club season. The Victorian teams compete at the Australian National Championships.
Players who perform well at the state level may be invited to Australian squad trials. National teams represent Australia in World Lacrosse Championships and international tours. There are opportunities in Under 20s, Senior Women’s, and Men’s categories.
Absolutely. Many Australian players have earned scholarships to US colleges or joined international clubs. Playing at a high level in Australia can open doors to global experiences and lifelong connections.
