Sizing is key when it comes to choosing your lacrosse protective equipment. When you’re just starting out and while you’re still growing, it’s important to make sure you’re not buying shoulder pads that are too big for your frame. If your pads are too loose, they won’t be protecting you in the way that they should. You want your shoulder pads to have a snug, but comfortable fit, so that you’re getting the most protection as possible.
A great option for youth shoulder padding is Brine’s Uprising line. In addition, we’d recommend anything we have in youth sizing from STX and Easton, as well as Warrior’s Rabil Next line of youth shoulder pads.
