WHERE TO GET THE GEAR
"LOW RISK" TRIAL LACROSSE GEAR PROGRAM
This is a new program open to first-time Boys Youth Lacrosse players registered to Lacrosse Club of Montclair’s programs with full program payment (or scholarship approval) and is available for new gear from All Lacrosse. The process is simple...
You will go to All-Lacrosse to have your son be properly fitted for a full set of new boys Lacrosse gear which includes the following items (the “Gear”): (a) Lacrosse Helmet; (b) Lacrosse stick; (c) Set of Lacrosse Pads include shoulder pads and arm pads; (d) Lacrosse gloves; and (e) a mouthguard. Note: Players must provide their own sneakers/cleats and protective cup. The Gear Value is $300.
You commit to the following as it relates to the Gear:
-
Keep it in your possession and avoid loss, damage, and theft;
-
Use it only for the purposes intended;
-
Any required maintenance must be done at All-Lacrosse
-
Keep the Gear in good working order (except normal wear and tear) without any unauthorized modifications (e.g. painting the helmet).
You agree to pay $300 by the end date of the program for which you are getting the gear, of which a $75 non-refundable down payment/rental fee is due when you get the Gear. (Payment plans & need-based discounts are available.) If the player does not want to continue with Lacrosse, you may return the Gear at any time prior to that end date to get a refund of any sums paid over the non-refundable $75. If the Gear is lost, modified, damaged, or otherwise not returned by that end date, it will be considered purchased by you and any unpaid balances will be due at that time.
If interested in this program, please reach out to Howie at All Lacrosse, 147 Valley Road, Montclair, NJ 07042. 973-509-0303 or howie@alllacrosse.com.
Gently Used Equipment-
Loaner Program
All players are responsible for providing their own equipment, HOWEVER, for newcomers, we do not want the cost of equipment to prevent a child from trying the sport. We understand parents’ concern about buying equipment when unsure whether or not their son will stick with it, so we have some lightly used equipment available to lend for a season or program. Those interested should contact our registrar at karen@montclairlacrosse.com with “Request for Loaner Gear” in the subject line.
For Mini Laxers (Kindergarten)

Only a regulation lacrosse stick is required.

It will need to be cut down so check-in with your coaches once the season starts.
