You’ll Need The Following

  1. USA Lacrosse Membership – You are going to need a High School level USA Lacrosse Membership ($35.00) for the player.
    • All Eagles Lacrosse players are required to be members of USA LACROSSE to supplement personal insurance policies. OUR LEAGUE (MGLL) and ALL TOURNAMENTS REQUIRE THAT ATHLETES HAVE THIS COVERAGE.
    • You must renew your membership annually. We will check memberships prior to each season.
    • To become a US Lacrosse Member, visit the USA Lacrosse Membership page
  2. Mouth Guard – You will need a mouth-guard, this is required by the Lacrosse Rulebook.
    • The mouth-gaurd cannot be white or clear, it cannot have “teeth” graphics on it and it cannot have protruding tabs (meaning, it can’t be the kind that would attach to a football helmet) 
  3. Lacrosse Shoes/Cleats – You will need Lacrosse or Soccer cleats.
    • We recommend Lacrosse specific shoes, we also understand starting a new sport brings a lot of challenges. So, if you want to use soccer shoes, that is perfectly acceptable.
