About Lacrosse

Rules and equipment requirements are different for girls and boys lacrosse — even at the college and pro levels.

Boys Lax

Boys lacrosse rules are designed to create a game of speed and to protect player safety.

The rules of boys lacrosse mandate protective padding on most of a player’s top half.

Girls Lax

Girls lacrosse rules are designed to create a game of skill and to protect player safety.

Lacrosse equipment requirements for girls include only minimal gear. A few extras are recommended.

The Hive — Sting Lax Community

Every parent knows: it takes a village — and Sting does, too. Our programs succeed when we have a strong community backing us up. Welcome to The Hive!

The Hive is our name for our community of parents, guardians, fans, and friends. Social media are such a common method of connecting with other people that we want Sting to be well-represented there.

While digital social media content can’t replace in-person socializing & groups, it can strengthen them by keeping communities in touch more regularly. We hope you’ll join our community, both online and off.
