In the game of lacrosse, you need the right stick and the right equipment to play. You need the right stick because, if you were a middy, you would not want to have a goalie stick in your hands. You also need the right equipment because, if you are playing in a game and you do not have a helmet on, then you could get serious head injury. So if you want to play lacrosse you need to know what you need. So you do not show up with a goalie stick for attack or no gloves and hurt your hands.
