Learn More About Youth Lacrosse Sticks
The sticks in this collection are specifically designed to help young players master the fundamentals of the game. The shafts on kids' lacrosse sticks are typically shorter and thinner to give young players added control and comfort. The head tends to be wider to aid with throwing, catching and cradling, while the scoop is often flatter to make it easier to grab ground balls.
Make sure to monitor the quality of the pocket over time. The pockets on many of these youth sticks are designed to provide long-lasting durability. However, especially after repeated exposure to rain and extreme temperatures, the pocket may begin to lose its original shape and responsiveness. If that happens, you may want to consider restringing the pocket. Find a great selection of replacement mesh, string, and stringing kits if you want to do it yourself. DICK'S also offers restringing services at many locations. Contact your local store to check availability.
Boys' vs. Girls' Lacrosse Sticks
There is a key difference between boys' and girls' lacrosse sticks, and that is the pocket on the stick's head. Since forceful contact is allowed in most boys' lacrosse leagues, the pocket is typically fairly deep to help players maintain control of the ball while they weave through the opposition. Because hard physical contact is prohibited in girls' lacrosse, the pocket is more shallow so that players must handle the ball carefully to avoid losing possession.
