Practical Information

Join an introduction practice!

Do you want to try lacrosse for yourself, or see what our association is like? It is possible to join a free intro practice any time of the year. Please send an email to board@wageningenwarriors.nl to let us know that you'd like to join a practice. Also, 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!

Equipment

In order to play lacrosse, you need several pieces of equipment, outlined in the two paragraphs below. Mouthguards and shoes can be bought in most sports stores, including the Intersport in the city center. All other mandatory items can initially be borrowed from the association for free. Later, they can be rented, or you can buy your own gear through the club order. You can always ask experienced members for advice on what to buy! Additionally, the uniforms we wear during the games are owned by the association, so you won't have to buy your own. 

Equipment 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

Equipment 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, like soccer or hockey shoes
