Fortis Sports Boy Playing Lacrosse

The lacrosse season is here, and whether you’re gearing up for practices, tournaments, or a new season, having the right equipment is key to staying at the top of your game. At Fortis Sports, we know that being prepared means playing with confidence. To make sure you’re ready to hit the field, we’ve put together this essential lacrosse gear checklist.

The Right Lacrosse Stick

Your stick is your most important tool on the field. Make sure you have a high-quality head and shaft that suit your position and playing style. Need help with stringing? Fortis Sports offers expert stringing services to ensure you get the best performance out of your stick.

Helmet & Mouthguard

Safety first! A properly fitted helmet is essential for protecting against impacts. Don’t forget a mouthguard—most leagues require them, and they’re a small investment in protecting your teeth and jaw.

Gloves, Elbow Pads & Shoulder Pads

Lacrosse is a physical sport, and the right protective gear can make a big difference. Ensure your gloves provide a good grip and flexibility, and that your pads offer comfort without restricting movement.

Cleats

Good footwork is crucial in lacrosse. Make sure your cleats provide the right traction for quick cuts and fast sprints. If you need a new pair, Fortis Sports carries a variety of options to keep you quick on your feet.

Practice Apparel & Extra Gear

Stay comfortable during training sessions with moisture-wicking apparel. Bring an extra set of socks, a backup stick, and athletic tape for any quick fixes you might need.

Water Bottle & Sports Bag

Hydration is key during games and practices. A durable sports bag will also help you stay organized and keep your gear in one place.

Game-Ready Extras

Have a tournament coming up? Bring extra stringing supplies, pre-wrap, a first-aid kit, and sideline accessories like cooling towels and energy snacks.
