If you’re reading this, you probably have some sort of gently or un-used lacrosse equipment sitting in the corner of your garage or (for you organized people) hanging on that slat wall of the garage. You guys are in luck, because we know just the place to get that lacrosse equipment off your hands and out of your garage!
Our Lax4all Program is a non-for-profit organization that initiates and sustains lacrosse programs in non-traditional communities on Long Island. Throughout the year, we are always looking to gather lacrosse equipment to be used within our Lax4all Program. The equipment gathered will be given out to young studletes who are new to the sport or who are looking to get more involved in the sport.
Below is a list of items that we could always use for studletes in our Lax4all Program. 1 being the most needed item.
1. Lacrosse Sticks (Boys & Girls) – we could never have too many lacrosse sticks. The first thing we give to new players is a stick. Getting a stick in as many player’s hands as possible is the fastest and most successful way to spread the game.
2. Goggles, Helmets & Gloves – the next step for introducing players to the game is provide a quality pair of gloves (Boys) and a helmet (Boys) or pair of goggles (Girls). This allows Lax4all coaches to do many more drills and introduce more advanced concepts to players.
3. Arm pads, Shoulder Pads, Chest Protector – Providing the remaining hard goods allows more players to get a complete set of equipment and one-day participate in the leagues we provide for players in the Organization.
4. Cleats – Cleats are great for players that have never played a field sport before. Some players only have sneakers because they’re used to playing indoor sports, such as basketball.
5 . Bags – It’s great to have extra bags so we can give them out to players who have a full set of equipment. Players can then put all their equipment in bags, as opposed to putting everything on their lacrosse sticks. This damages their lacrosse head and affects their play.
The mission of Lax4all is simple, spread the game. Similar to FLG, we want to utilize lacrosse to build more than just athletes.
