Foothills Pack Travel Recommendations
Stick Travel
TSA typically does not allow lacrosse shafts in carry-ons.
Recommended: Remove the stick head and carry it in your carry-on while placing the shaft in checked luggage.
Keep track of the screw and screwdriver. Pack extra screws for emergencies.
Some airlines allow dedicated stick bags or use a poster tube for safer travel (check with your airline).
Essential Equipment
Primary Stick + Backup Stick: If your daughter has two sticks, bring both.
Mouth guards (2+): Not white. These are commonly lost, so extras are helpful.
Goggles (2 pairs): A backup pair helps avoid issues if a pair is lost.
Practice Pinnie/Uniform: Some parents opt for a second set due to sweat.
Cleats: Properly broken-in for comfort.
Crocs or Sliders: Ideal for resting feet between games.
Extra Lax Socks: For wet weather backup.
Hydration & Health
Large Water Bottle: Stay hydrated throughout the tournament.
Electrolytes: Begin hydrating a week before the tournament.
Sunscreen: Essential for outdoor tournaments.
Stick Tape: For grip adjustments.
Band-Aids: For minor cuts and blisters.
Knee/Ankle Support: If your daughter uses these regularly.
​Cold Weather Tournament Essentials
Under-Uniform Heat Gear: Must be all black (Under Armour recommended).
Ear Warmers & Hand Warmers: Consider rechargeable electronic hand warmers.
Weatherproof Sideline Coat: Keep warm while watching.
Chapstick: Prevents dryness, especially when traveling from humid regions.
For Parents
Chairs: Many tournaments do not offer chair rentals. Bring a stable, foldable chair that fits in checked luggage.
