Complete Lacrosse Gear Bundle Under $300
Everything your player needs to get on the field safely, helmet, stick, pads, gloves, and cleats. Curated for first-year and youth players.
This is the full gear setup I recommend for players in their first one or two seasons of lacrosse, or for parents who want a proven, safe starter kit without overspending on gear a growing player will outgrow. Every item here is NOCSAE certified (where applicable), available from major brands, and available on Amazon Prime.
What is in This Bundle
Helmet: Cascade CS-R (under 12) / Cascade CPV-R (12+)
~$130-175The helmet is the one item with no budget workaround, and in 2026 the cheapest legitimate certified helmet is the Cascade CS-R at about $130. It’s no consolation prize: EPP liner, a junior 3-bar mask for better vision, and a shell purpose-built for players under 12.
Player 12 or older? The CS-R won’t fit them, they need the Cascade CPV-R (~$175, four shell sizes down to XXS). Yes, that pushes this bundle’s total up. The helmet is still not the place to save.

~$50-55For a first-year player, a complete stick is the right choice, pre-strung, and priced so it doesn’t sting when the pocket stretches out. Pick by age, because stick length rules change at 12U: the 39″ Stallion 50 is legal through 10U only, while the full-size Stallion 200 covers 12U through high school. Full details in our stick size chart.

~$55STX’s beginner line, lightweight, vented, and built for developing players. The most important thing is fit: the cuff should sit at the wrist and the palm should not bunch. Order two sizes if unsure and return the wrong one.
Shop STX Stallion 75 Gloves →Arm Pads: Warrior Burn Next
~$35Warrior’s youth/budget pad, light, low-bulk, and the kind kids actually keep on. Arm pad quality varies less than gloves or helmets, so this is a safe place to stay at the budget end.
Shop Warrior Burn Next →Shoulder Pads: STX Stallion 75
~$55Entry-level shoulder pads do not need to be expensive, but they do need to meet the current NOCSAE heart-protection standard, most leagues now require it. The Stallion 75 does, covers shoulders and chest without restricting the arms, and its straps are simple enough for young players to manage alone.
Shop STX Stallion 75 Shoulder Pads →Cleats: use what you have (year one)
$0-55Honest budget advice: soccer and football cleats are legal in lacrosse, and for a first-year player they are completely fine. If your player already owns a pair, spend that money on the helmet instead. When they commit to the sport, lacrosse-specific cleats add real lateral support, see our cleats guide for the current verified picks.
See Our Verified Cleat Picks →Mouthguard
~$15Required at all levels. The Shock Doctor Gel Max is the standard recommendation, boil-and-bite, fits reliably, available anywhere. One rule people miss: NFHS and NCAA require a mouthguard in a visible colour, so a clear or white one will get flagged. Do not skip this.

Who This Bundle Is For
This bundle is the right call for first-year players (any age), youth players who will outgrow gear within 1-2 seasons, and any situation where budget is the primary constraint. If your player commits past year one, plan to upgrade the stick to a separate shaft and head for season two, and when they turn 12, the CS-R gets replaced by the Cascade CPV-R (the age rules change at 12U, not just the sizes).
