Advice on Lacrosse Sticks:
For beginners, we highly recommend the following sticks which offer great quality and value. The right stick can make a huge difference in how quickly the player picks up the basics like passing, shooting & catching. It can be the difference of learning the sport or getting frustrated and quitting. These sticks offer a great pocket right out of the box so you do not need to know how to tune and tweak it for good passing and shooting:
StringKing (www.stringking.com): Every player upon registration is invited to the Pioneers Team Store at www.stringking.com. This affords those that register through the invitation email special discounts on sticks and apparrel. We recommend the "Complete 2 Junior" and Complete 2 Intermediate" for boys and "Complete Junior" and "Complete Original" for girls.
Signature Lacrosse (www.signaturelacrosse.com): Signature Lacrosse provides MCPL branded fan gear as well as sticks, goals, balls and more. A portion of every sale from our GEAR STORE goes back toward Martin County Pioneers Lacrosse. Their complete lacrosse sticks are a great option for beginner and experienced players alike and come ready to play out of the box with a great pocket making passing, catching and shooting much easier to learn.
