HELMETS - Helmets for the Palmyra Lacrosse Club are to be white with a black visor & black chin guard. With PIAA here, this will eventually be mandatory that all players have the same colors on their helmets.  They don't have to be the same brand, but need to be the same colors.  So if you are buying a new helmet, for whatever reason, please make sure that it is white, with a black visor and black chin guard, you will save yourself some money in the long run.  If you go to a store and they only have white with a white visor, please have them order the appropriate colored helmet for you, white helmet with a black visor and black chin guard.  Orange vent hole covers may be added. ****SPECIAL NOTE FOR HS PLAYERS:  The school ihas ordered helmets for the High School team for use during the season,  HOWEVER, if you plan to attend summer camps or play in off season leagues you will still need to have your own helmet.  

HOCKEY HELMETS - Are not allowed as they do not meet NFHS specifications. 

MOUTHPIECES – Must be colored so they are visible to the referee’s (no clear or white).
