Equipment
In order to play lacrosse, you need several pieces of equipment, outlined in the two paragraphs below. Mouthguards and shoes can be bought in most sports stores, including the Intersport in the city center. All other mandatory items can initially be borrowed from the association for free. Later, they can be rented, or you can buy your own gear through the club order. You can always ask experienced members for advice on what to buy! Additionally, the uniforms we wear during the games are owned by the association, so you won't have to buy your own.
Equipment for men's lacrosse
This variant of lacrosse is more physical, so you will wear gear to protect yourself against injuries. To get started, you are required to wear at least the following:
Although it is not mandatory, most people also wear extra protection like:
Equipment for women's lacrosse

Thursday: 17.30 - 19.00 Ladies 1 & Men's 1
19.00 - 20.30 Ladies 2 & Goalies
