Just a reminder that starting January 1, 2022 all chest pads have to be NOCSAE certified.
It is the new rule from USA Lacrosse in order to play and is for better safety of the players. This means pretty much everyone who has an older chest pad will have to replace theirs. Plan ahead and be prepared! New lacrosse gear makes great birthday and Christmas gifts!These chest pads will have a little tag on them that has a "heartbeat" on it. The chest pads ARE THICKER around the chest and heart than old pads.
Where to find them?
Google "certified lacrosse chest protector" and different sites should pop up. (lacrossemonkey.com, stx.com, lacrosseunlimited.com, lacrossefanatic.com, warrior.com, etc) Unless you're a goalie, don't buy the goalie ones.
Spread the word.Especially to friends who may plan on joining us. Don't let them buy the wrong gear!
WE LOVE LACROSSE! See you soon.
