Sticks

Stick Type

Box lacrosse sticks typically have moulded heads with mesh, rawlon lace, or synthetic lace pockets with leather runners. Handles may be wood or metal.

Standard stick length must be between 101.6 cm (40") and 116.8 cm (46").

In U11 and younger divisions, the minimum stick length may be 86.4 cm (34").

Balls

Game balls must conform to Canadian Lacrosse Association (CLA) standards and be approved by the CLA. The same ball used in field lacrosse is used for box lacrosse.
