We get a lot of questions about what it costs to play lacrosse. This will give you a rough estimate and an explaination of all the fees and cost for someone starting out.

US Lacrosse Membership You are required to become a member of US Lacrosse, the national governing body of the sport, which provides liability insurance, a subscription to Lacrosse Magazine, catastrophic health insurance, and it only costs $25 for an annual youth membership.

Team Fees - The cost varies from program to program and ranges from $150-$400. This fee will cover practice field permits; custom game and practice uniforms; team equipment, like balls and goals; and other misc. administrative and overhead costs and is paid directly to the team.

Equipment - This cost can vary depending on the level of equipment what you want to purchase. A stick alone can range from $30 to $335. The local lacrosse stores have bundled packages that start at $150, which include a stick, helmet, gloves, arm pads, and shoulder pads. Some of the programs have made arrangements with local vendors and/or equipment manufacturers for heavily discounted packages. All players will be required to have a mouthpieces and cleats. Your son can use soccer or football cleats and does NOT have to get lacrosse specific cleats.
