For any parents of boys youth players looking for help shopping for new lacrosse gear, here are some starter kits we have found for Spring 2026. Many online lacrosse equipment retailers offer "starter kits". These are a more budget-friendly way to purchase gear for a first-year youth player. All of the gear in these starter kits is legal for use, so you don't have to worry about checking for certifications.
