[quote=Anonymous]Similar background as poster above.

STX exlipse has been the goat since the beginning of lacrosse. Any attack shaft is fine, can probably use what he already has and just swap the heads as needed.

Definitely needs a chest protector, and a good one.

Whatever helmet he has is probably fine if its current. Just get the neck protector from whatever brand the helmet is (I'm assuming cascade). DO NOT let him go out without a neck protector.

Probably needs goalie gloves. Goalies breaking thumbs is becoming very common.

For training, honestly he just needs to see a ton of rubber. He's got a brother, let them figure it out out back. I hate saying this, but for a 10 year old who wants to face a ton of shots, maybe get those soft lacrosse balls on amazon.

I wouldn't send a new 10 year old for private coaching or camps or anything until thats his dedicated position. I would have him watch some instructional youtube videos for the basics of footwork and hand movement, and then watch goaliesmiths IG content to really see how the top dogs move. Amazing what kids pick up by watching and doing. [/quote]
