Where to buy equipment?
There are various options to purchase lacrosse equipment for your son or daughter.  It has been our experience that for those new to the sport, it is very helpful to go to a lacrosse only store where the store personnel are educated on the sport and fitting youth players. 

 

PlumLAX recommends Comlax for all equipment needs.
Comlax (www.comlax.com/locations/store-locations) They have offered PlumLAX players starter packages for boys for about $200. This includes: stick, helmet, gloves, arm pads and shoulder pads. If you try and buy these items individually you will likely pay more. They are located in Bridgeville and Neville Island. Directions and other information can be found on their website.

 



In addition, area retailers like Dicks and Dunhams also carry lacrosse equipment.  We have found the selection limited at Dunhams and Dicks and the store personnel are not educated on lacrosse. You can also order from many retailers over the web if you search on lacrosse equipment.  However, you may have better luck with exchanges at area retailers.
