There are countless awesome gifts for lacrosse players. Whether you go for safety, style or performance, your options are endless.
A lot of people struggle at first to think of what to get their lacrosse-loving friend or family member. Start by asking yourself simple questions: What gear do they already have? How old is it? Have they mentioned anything lately they're interested in?
Those are just a few of the questions to ask when you're shopping for a lacrosse player. If they've been complaining about their cleats for a month, focus on that. If their bag is old but all their gear is new, maybe start with the bag.
Beyond simple observations like these, you can always just ask. You may not want to if you're keeping it a surprise, but it's never a bad idea to find out if there's something specific they want or need to sharpen their skills or have more fun with the game.
To help you figure out what to get that special someone, we put together this list of the best gifts for lacrosse players.
Coach's note: Every December I hear from parents from upstate New York to Virginia Beach asking what to get their player. My answer is always the same: something that gets them more reps. A bucket of balls, a rebounder or a backyard goal will do more for their game than anything else you can wrap. And if they play box in Ontario, a fresh pair of gloves never goes unused.

A new lacrosse stick
- Complete lacrosse stick: A great option for beginners to learn the game with and play at lower levels. Try the Warrior EVO Complete Stick 2026 ($109.99).
- Lacrosse head: The head is what you carry, shoot, pass and catch with. Heads come in all kinds of colors, designs, shapes and sizes. Try the Warrior Evo V Head ($99.99).
- Lacrosse shaft: The shaft is the main part of the stick, so finding a great fit is essential. Shafts come in different weights, materials, shapes and colors. Try the Maverik A7 175 Attack Shaft ($99.99).
- Fiddlestick or mini stick: A mini stick is a safe, fun way to introduce the game to younger players and great for messing around with friends in the backyard. Try the Hackees Sully's Twig Mini Stick ($39.00).
New lacrosse gear
- Lacrosse gloves: There's no worse feeling than eating a hard slash on your hands running down the field. With a good pair of gloves, players don't have to worry about it. Try the Maverik M6 Player Glove ($115.99).
- Lacrosse arm pads: Arm protection covers anywhere from the upper bicep down to the top of the wrist, depending on the type. Most have a hard plastic shell that stands up to hard checks. Try the Warrior Evo Pro Elbow Pads ($49.99).
- Lacrosse cleats: Cleats give players better traction moving around the field. They come in high, mid and low cuts, in all sizes and colors. Try the New Balance FreezeLX v5 Mid Cleat ($129.99).
- Youth starter set: Starter kits are a great way for beginners to get all the gear they need to step on the field, and they save time and money compared to buying everything separately. Try the Evo Rise CS-R Youth Bundle (From $284.96).
- Lacrosse visor: Visors protect your eyes from finger pokes and dust. They often come tinted, so you can find a look that fits your style. Be sure to read up on visor legality before you buy one for your player.
- Lacrosse helmet: With a game this physical, with fast balls and sticks flying, keeping your head safe should be every player's #1 priority. Try the Cascade CPV-R Helmet ($175.00).
Lacrosse field equipment
- Lacrosse balls: New balls are always a safe bet. Old balls lose their grip over time, which makes it harder to know how your stick will throw in games. Try Union Lacrosse Balls (From $5.00) or Pearl X Greaseless Balls (3-pack) ($19.99).
- Lacrosse rebounder: A great way to practice away from the field or if you don't have a wall for wall ball. Work on throwing and catching, receiving feeds and more. Try the Champion Sports Deluxe Lacrosse Rebounder ($270.00).
- Lacrosse goal: A goal gives players way more shooting reps than they get at practice alone. Try the Champion Pro Competition Lacrosse Goal ($282.99).
- Portable lacrosse goal: A portable goal goes anywhere you want to practice. If your player won't just leave the goal in the backyard, go portable. Try the Rhino Flex Portable Lacrosse Goal ($213.99).
- Lacrosse backstop: A backstop keeps missed shots from flying past the net. Chasing down balls will wear you out and eat up time and energy you could spend getting better. Try the Warrior 10x30 Lacrosse Backstop ($224.99).
- New lacrosse goal net: Nets get holes over time, and there's nothing more frustrating than ripping a perfect shot only to watch the ball go through the net and fly away. Try the Union Sports 7mm Lacrosse Net (From $129.99).
