USA Lacrosse (Not St. Albans Rec) sets equipment standards.  If you're new to LAX, you may not know that the boys game and girls game are quite different.  Different rules, different equipment requirements - we agree, it's confusing.
Here are current requirements:

Tykes - No equipment necessary for this age! We provide sticks and other equipment for practice purposes. You are more than welcome to come geared up but it's not necessary.

All Girls Grades 1st grade and up:
Cleats, mouth guard, stick and eye protection
Headgear and close fitting gloves are optional.

All Boys Grades 1 - 2:
Cleats, helmet, shoulder pads, elbow pads, gloves, stick & mouth guard. 

All Boys Grades 3rd grade and up:
Cleats, helmet, shoulder pads, elbow pads, gloves, stick & mouth guard - In addition, all Boys in grades 3 and up must have NOCSAE certified chest protectors.  Without NOCSAE certified chest protectors they will not be able to play.  Certification will be indicated on the chest protector.  If you are purchasing new, ask the sales person.  If you're using a hand me down, or buying 2nd hand, check for the certification.  Referees will not let kids play without them.

Tykes and 1st/2nd grade players will receive a shirt or pinnie that is theirs to keep.

The Northern Vermont Youth Lacrosse league is a non-profit co-ed lacrosse league located in Northern Vermont. The league is divided into three age groups 3/4th grade, 5/6th grade and 7/8th grade. League games are held on Saturdays (boys) and Sundays (girls) from early May to mid-June. Teams may also arrange games themselves during the week. For the 5/6 and 7/8 teams scores and standing are kept and 7/8 has playoffs across two or more divisions.

Mission Statement
The mission of NVTYLL is to promote sportsmanship and athletic achievement through the game of lacrosse. We work to grow the sport by providing quality instruction and coaching of lacrosse fundamentals, skills, techniques, and strategies. We focus on developing both the individual and team skills necessary for fair and fun play. We want each and every participant to feel like they have made a contribution to themselves as well as to their respective team both on and off the field. We aim to be a feeder program for kids who wish to play lacrosse in high school and beyond. And, most importantly, we teach players to “Honor the Game” by respecting the rules, opponents, officials, teammates and themselves.

The practice schedule for all groups is dependent on our coaches schedule and is subject to change.
