Used Lacrosse Helmets: If your son does not require a specific team helmet, purchasing a used lacrosse helmet is a terrific option. There are junior and adult helmets available, so make sure you purchase the correct one. Used lacrosse goalie equipment: Goalies, in general, have a more difficult time getting the correct equipment than other players. That being said, there are some used goalie gear options out there. Your best bet for finding used lacrosse goalie equipment is to check with other goalies or coaches on teams that use ball hockey sticks. They may not want any part of it but should be able to point you in the right direction. The reason why we recommend against buying used lacrosse helmets is because they do not carry the same level of quality as new helmets. Even if a used helmet appears to be in good condition, it might not be safe until inspected by a professional trainer or coach. Also, make sure that any liner or cushioning inside the helmet is still intact. If anything feels soft or spongy, then it probably isn't safe for use and should be removed from the helmet before further contact practices or games. Used lacrosse goalie equipment can be found online and through specialty sports stores. Make sure to buy from a source you trust.
