Where to buy equipment?
There are various options to purchase lacrosse equipment for your son or daughter. It has been our experience that for those new to the sport, it is very helpful to go to a lacrosse only store such as Lacrosse Unlimited in Red Bank and where the store personnel are educated on the sport and fitting youth players.
In addition, area retailers like Dicks also carry lacrosse equipment. We have found the selection limited and the store personnel are not educated on lacrosse. You can also order from many retailers over the web if you search on lacrosse equipment. However, you may have better luck with exchanges at area retailers.
