Practical Information

Join an introduction practice!

Do you want to try lacrosse for yourself, or see what our association is like? We will be present during the AID, and we are organising an open practice plus barbecue on the 29th of August.

The introduction practices will take place during the first two weeks of the academic year on Tuesdays and Thursdays (3rd, 5th, 10th and 12th of September) from 19:00 till 20:30. Interested? No need to sign up, just show up! Still feeling hesitant or do you need some more information first? Feel free to contact us at board@wageningenwarriors.nl. Follow us on Instagram to stay up to date! 

When you join an introduction practice, bring the following:

• Sports clothes: shirt, pants, etc.
• Sports shoes. The best option are shoes with studs, like soccer or hockey shoes, but you could also use shoes that are comfortable to run in.
• Water bottle
• And if you have a mouthguard, we recommend bring that too
• Optional: towel, clean clothes etc. We always go for a drink in the sports pub after practice! 

You can borrow a stick and other required lacrosse gear from the association during these practices.

After practice, we often go to the Sportspub in the Bongerd and we have a drink together, so please feel free to join!

Materials for men's lacrosse

This variant of lacrosse is more physical, so you will wear gear to protect yourself against injuries. To get started, you are required to wear at least the following:

• A helmet
• A mouthguard
• Padded gloves
• Shoes with studs, like soccer or hockey shoes
• A stick

Although it is not mandatory, most people also wear extra protection like:

• A chest pad
• Elbow pads
• A toque

All this gear can initially be borrowed from the association. You can also rent gear afterwards.

Materials for women's lacrosse

Women’s lacrosse is less physical than men’s lacrosse and requires more finesse. You will therefore only need the following to play:

• Goggles
• Mouthguard
• Lacrosse stick
• Shoes with studs

The association has goggles and lacrosse sticks you can borrow for a while, but most people prefer to buy their own stick and goggles after a few months of playing. There is a document to help you out with choosing a stick and goggles. You can also buy this via the association.
