items Our tried and true gear for lacrosse, soccer, baseball and football! Save where you can, when you can but make sure your kids stay safe on the field!
My son loves these lacrosse gloves - initially because they were "Nike" and then because of how they felt while he handled the stick. I loved that they were on par pricing wise with other brands.
Nike Youth Vapor LT Lacrosse Gloves
Keep 'em safe and comfortable! These kids are geared up to the max so it's important to be able to move in the gear. These work well for my skinny armed son.
Nike Youth Vapor LT Arm Pads
I was kind of annoyed when I found out that our collection of baseball/football/soccer cleats were really *not* ideal or optional for lacrosse. I bought these because they were cheap and not hideous but my son actually really likes them!
New Balance Kids' FreezeLX V4 Mid Lacrosse Cleats
Lacrosse is a sport where concussions are a real concern. I like how this helmet fits my son and that it's made by a lacrosse-focused company.
Warrior Junior Burn Lacrosse Helmet
Easiest mouthguard I've ever had to prep – my son and I absolutely dread the mouthguard prep session every season. But this year it was no problem! We followed the instructions and it came out perfectly the first time. It didn't even need trimmed for...
Shock Doctor Youth Gel Max Convertible Classic Fit Mouthguard
Our favorite kids soccer shin guards because they have the protection around the ankle and the velcro that keeps the shin piece anchored (instead of slipping up, out of the sock). We are rec soccer players, but these have been our go-to brand/style s...
ProCat Technique Stirrup Guards - M
My son loves these compression shorts for underneath his soccer, basketball and football shorts.
DSG Boys' Compression Shorts
This jug holds enough water for even the hottest, turfiest games Ohio brings our way. I fill it with half ice and half water and it stays reasonably cold for a few hours. I love that it can be hung from the fence so it doesn't tip over/absorb heat fr...
Igloo 1/2 Gallon Jug with Hooks
These are the perfect for cooler days (fingers crossed those are on the way!). Lightweight but keep the wind off their skin, my son loves them.
DSG Boys' Compression Full Length Tights
No messing with jockstraps (which was honestly my worst nightmare). By the end of baseball season, all of the boys were wearing these easy to wash and wear shorts that kept their cups in place!
Boys Compression Underwear with Athletic Cup
I don't know much about these things, but my son thought that this was easy/comfortable/lightweight and that seems like a legit review.
Comfy Cup™ Boys Youth Soft Foam Athletic Cup
Young pitchers are wild and my son got hit a lot in the 2nd grade, so we bought these padded pants before we started 3rd grade ball. He got hit less - the pitchers settled down - but it helped him feel brave stepping into the batter's box!
Franklin Sports Youth Compression Sliding Shorts
Once I became aware that youth baseball is one of the most common sports in which commotio cordis occurs, I bought these chest protectors for my boys to wear. The idea is that the padding helps distribute the force of the impact so that damage is les...
Youth Baseball Chest Protector Padded Shirt
I love a bag that easily holds the ball and shoes for my boys. It makes it so much easier to pack them up the night before during busy weeks.
ProCat Provision Ball 18" Backpack
This held up really well last basketball season. My son loves to bring his own basketball to practice in case he gets there before the coaches so this allowed him to pack his shoes, change of clothes and ball to take to school on practice days!
Drawstring Basketball Backpack
