Look up the current finished crosse-length range for supported USA Lacrosse boys youth and NCAA men’s or women’s rules, using only compatible age and role choices.
Lacrosse Stick Length Formula
This lookup reports the allowed overall crosse length for the selected rules set and role; it is not a player-height recommendation.
How the Calculation Works
The rules-set selection controls which age, role, unit, and measurement fields apply. Incompatible choices are not displayed. The lookup returns the published overall finished-crosse range, or the 6U ground-to-waist maximum, in both inches and centimeters.
How to Use This Calculator
- Keep Published crosse length selected.
- Choose the rules set and only the compatible age and role controls shown.
- For USA boys 6U, choose inches or centimeters and enter the player’s ground-to-waist measurement.
- Select Calculate and confirm the competition’s current rulebook before use.
Worked Example
Under USA Lacrosse boys 10U rules, a long crosse has a published overall length range of 47–54 inches, or 119.38–137.16 centimeters.
Input and Result Guide
| Item | How to use it |
|---|---|
| USA boys 6U | No fixed minimum is listed; the crosse may be no longer than the player’s ground-to-waist measurement. |
| USA boys 8U and 10U | The lookup changes compatible roles and ranges by age, including a 47–54 inch long crosse at 10U. |
| USA boys 12U and 14U | Short: 40–42 inches; long: 52–72 inches; goalkeeper: 40–72 inches. |
| NCAA men | Short: 40–42 inches; long: 52–72 inches; goalkeeper: 40–72 inches. |
| NCAA women | Field: 35.5–43.25 inches (90–110 cm); goalkeeper: 35.5–52 inches (90–132 cm). |
Interpreting the Result
Treat the result as an overall-length lookup for the selected rules edition. It does not certify head dimensions, pocket depth, construction, inspection, or local event modifications.
Assumptions and Limitations
Overall length alone does not certify a legal crosse. Head dimensions, pocket, construction, inspection procedures, event modifications, and later rule changes can also matter; confirm the rulebook used by the competition.
Common Questions
Does this recommend a stick length from the player’s height?
No. It reports a published equipment-rule range. The only body measurement used is the specific USA boys 6U ground-to-waist maximum.
Will my last successful calculation be restored?
