We have partnered with Play it Again Sports to help lacrosse spread through the area. The owners of the Redding branch have offered us a team discount of 15% for players that purchase all of their equipment from them. They carry a wide variety of STX and Gait(DeBeers) sticks and protective equipment.
Please note that from now until 1 Jan 09, Play it Again Sports offers a 25% discount on all lacrosse equipment with the exception of balls.

Internet, there are lots of websites that offer lacrosse equipment at both retail and discounted pricing. Another suggestion for equipment is eBay.

Mass Closeouts...

For over a year now I have been buying random equipment from http://www.masscloseouts.com . I have been having their bulk order list sent to me as well, this requires a minimum purchase of $500.00 but many of the items are discounted beyond the savings found on their site. CLICK HERE to see their Lacrosse equipment available. If we combine purchases for several members of the team we can all save money in the long run.

Contact Corey (Click Here to Email Corey) if you have items you would like to order.
