Lacrosse Stick: we suggest that less experienced players avoid sticks that have narrow (“pinched”) heads as these sticks are designed for extremely advanced players.
  • Regulation "short sticks" (used by attackmen or mid-fielders) must be between 40 and 42 inches long (measured from the bottom of the shaft to the top of the head).
  • Regulation "long sticks" (used by defensemen) must be between 52 and 72 inches.
  • The shaft may be constructed of wood, metal or synthetic material and must have a cap covering the bottom end.
  • The head may be constructed of wood, metal or synthetic material shaped in a roughly triangular or slightly hour-glass shape, and has a pocket made of gut, rawhide, linen, or synthetic material to hold the ball. The head of the stick must be 6½ to 10 inches wide.
  • The pocket of the stick shall be deemed illegal if the top surface of a lacrosse ball, when placed in the head of the stick, is below the bottom edge of the side wall.
