A few notes about the stick:
- Cut the shaft: The shaft comes in a full, adult size and will need to be cut down according to your child's height. The staff at Lacrosse Unlimited can do this for you.
- Get a good pocket: Some sticks (usually off the rack from sports stores) come pre-strung, but the pockets are terrible and need to be restrung.
- Dividends: Invest a little time and effort preparing your child's stick. With the simple modifications of a shorter shaft and a good pocket, your child will be more successful, have a better experience...and learn to love lacrosse!
