28 Best Lacrosse Gifts for Players, Coaches and Fans

Every lacrosse coach says the same thing: the players who improve fastest are the ones who throw thousands of passes on their own. A rebounder turns the backyard into a wall-ball station without denting the garage door, and this 5x7 size is big enough that a younger player is not chasing every miss. If you buy one big lacrosse gift, make it this.

Shooting at a bucket or a fence teaches bad habits. A regulation-size cage in the yard gives attackers and middies a real target for top-corner and bounce-shot practice, and this VEVOR folds down so it can go in the car for a park session. Pair it with the corner targets for an even better setup.

Goalies stop shots at the hips and the middle of the cage. Corner targets force a shooter to hit the spots that actually score, and they make practice feel like a game. A cheap add-on to any backyard goal.

There is no such thing as a lacrosse family with enough balls; they vanish into hedges and storm drains every week. This STX 12-pack is the safe, always-welcome gift, and it pairs perfectly with a goal or rebounder.

Coaches and parents who run extra shooting sessions will love having all the balls in one place. The padded lid becomes a seat while feeding passes, which is the small detail that makes this better than a hardware-store bucket.

Nothing motivates a teenage shooter like a number. A radar gun turns shooting practice into a personal-best challenge and shows real progress as their mechanics improve. Great for competitive high school players or a team that likes friendly contests.

Dodging and split-dodges come down to footwork. This set gives a player everything for off-season speed work in the yard, and the cones are useful for setting up dodging lanes with the goal. A practical gift for a middie or defender.

Sticks break, and having a backup in the bag can save a game day. This complete attack and midfield stick is an affordable starter for a new boys' player or a spare for an experienced one. Experienced players often prefer to choose their own head, so this works best as a first stick or backup.

For a high school or club player who is serious about attack, the Crux line is one of the most popular women's heads on the field. This is a splurge, but it is exactly the kind of gear upgrade players dream about and rarely get to pick themselves.

Many players get hooked on stringing their own pockets, and a mesh kit is the raw material. This Shark Lax kit lets a boys' player restring a tired head or experiment with a new pocket. A great gift paired with a YouTube stringing tutorial.

Women's pockets wear in and need tweaking all season. This StringKing kit is a tiny, useful stocking stuffer for a girls' player who likes to adjust her own stick.

Players re-tape their sticks constantly, and this is a nicer tape than the hockey roll most use. Faceoff specialists in particular will appreciate how it grips without getting gummy. An easy under-$20 gift.

Lacrosse gear is bulky and smelly, and a backpack with stick holders keeps it all together on the walk from the car. The separate cleats pocket keeps mud away from everything else. A gift both players and their parents will appreciate.

Young players grow out of gloves every season or two. This STX Stallion pair is a solid youth glove at a fair price, a smart gift for a boy moving into his first full-contact season. Check his hand size before ordering.

Arm pads are one of the most commonly outgrown pieces of boys' lacrosse gear. These match the Stallion gloves above, so the two together make a tidy gift for a youth player starting a new season.

Players hate bulky mouthguards and often leave them in the bag. The SISU is thin enough to call out slides on defense while still protecting teeth, and it remolds as a kid's mouth changes. A small but valued gift.

Goggles are mandatory in girls' and women's lacrosse, and the difference between a basic pair and a good one is weight and field of view. This Gait pair is a noticeable upgrade for a competitive player. Check her current certification sticker; this pair meets the current standard.

High school and college players who want to get faster and hit harder need a plan, not random gym sessions. This book lays out sport-specific programming they can follow through the off-season. Excellent for a player hoping to play in college.

Lacrosse players already know the lacrosse ball is the best massage tool around, and this peanut version is the upgrade for backs and calves. A smart gift for a player who is always sore after weekend tournaments.

Summer lacrosse tournaments are long, hot days on turf. A half-gallon jug that hooks on the fence means fewer trips to the cooler and less sharing of bottles. Players and coaches both use them all season.

Volunteer youth coaches often draw plays on the back of a roster. This dry erase board makes timeouts clearer and makes a nice thank-you gift from the team at the end of the season.

An easy stocking stuffer or team gift that gets a smile at the bench. Buy them for the whole team for the end-of-season party.

Every defenseman has heard this joke and secretly loves it. A cozy hoodie is also genuinely useful at early spring games when it is cold on the sideline.

Girls' teams often clip charms to their gear bags, and this one is a sweet add-on for a team gift or a first-season player.

Senior night and end-of-season banquets call for a small keepsake, and this pendant is affordable enough to buy for a whole roster. A nice gift from a coach or team mom.

For the teen whose bedroom is already a shrine to their sport, a lacrosse canvas is the finishing touch. It also works as a gift for a team locker room or coach's office.

A small holiday gift for every player on the roster, or a keepsake to mark a first season. Lacrosse families like to add one a year to the tree.

First goal, championship game, senior night: lacrosse players save a lot of balls. This engraved case turns one into a proper keepsake, and it is one of the most meaningful gifts on this list for under $20.
