Optional Girls' Helmets for K-8:
Fleming Island Lacrosse Club (FILC) is part of the Northeast Florida Girls' Youth Lacrosse League and we are governed by US Lacrosse. While the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) has mandated the use of girls helmets in high school, US Lacrosse has not done so for any youth division in the United States. We are insured by US Lacrosse and follow US Lacrosse rules. Therefore, FILC will not require K-8 girls to wear helmets. Helmets are optional and are up to the individual player and their families. For more information, please visit the link included below regarding women's headgear.
Stick recommendations:
Yes, there are a couple of products our players have had good success in wearing over glasses in past seasons:
1. Bangerz HS-OTG Goggles Protective Eyeguard, Anti-Fog Over the Glasses Safety Goggles for High Impact Sports - Basketball, Lacrosse, Floor Hockey, Racquetball, Crystal Clear with Wide Vision (available on Amazon and other retailers) - These goggles are specifically designed to fit over glasses and offer good visibility to players.
2. STX 4Sight Pro Goggles - These goggles are ASTM F3077 approved, however they are not specifically designed to fit over glasses. These goggles tend to work for some players with small-medium sized glasses' frames but please try them on first to make sure.
It can be difficult to wear glasses under the lacrosse helmet in addition to the risk of damage to the glasses or player's eyes if the glasses break. Prescription sports' goggles are preferred by most players if contact lenses are not an option.
