The Long Stick (only used at 12U & 14U)

New Youth Player Note:  Purchase an attackmen & midfielders (40” – 42”) type stick.  Until you're certain you'll play defense, each youth team has defensemen sticks to loan.

Color Requirements for Equipment

Youth (Below Varsity Level) Players

There are no specific requirements for the colors of Gloves, Elbow Pads, or Helmets to allow people to reuse older equipment when possible.  If purchasing new equipment we would suggest following the guidelines listed below for High School Players.

Varsity Players 

• Players are required to use red, white, or red and white color gloves
• Arm pads are required to be Black, Red, or White in color
• Helmets are required to be Cascade Brand S model which fit the specified color scheme defined below. These are custom built helmets that the club orders in bulk offering players and their families large discounts.  We strongly encourage that helmets are ordered through the club, but could be custom ordered on your own if needed.
