How to Customize a Girl's Lacrosse Stick

Even when you work in sync with your lacrosse team, personalization of your equipment is still desirable for many women. Personalizing your lacrosse stick tailors it to your specific interests and needs. It ensures you always have the same stick before and after each game, allowing you to grow used to the feeling of it. When you are the only one who uses the particular stick, it’s treated with the respect you give any other item you work closely with. Consult the rules of lacrosse before you make risky customizations or you may be unable to use it.

Instructions

    • 1

      Clean the handle of the lacrosse stick with warm water and soap. This allows you to adhere your decorations easier.

    • 2

      Hold the stick like you would while playing. Take note of your hand positions on the handle of the stick. Hold it in different positions you will use during a game, such as when receiving an over-the-shoulder catch or performing a hitch shot.

    • 3

      Choose a grip tape color you think goes well with your stick’s colors. Cut lengths of tape that will fit comfortably around your stick’s handle.

    • 4

      Place three strips of tape around the handle of the stick at every position you will place your hands. The tape adds extra grip while creating a decorative flair to the stick itself.

    • 5

      Decorate the lines of tape with markers. For example, you can write an inspiring motto on the tape starting near the top of the shaft and down to the base. You can also draw simple, nonsensical designs.

      Allow the ink to dry before you handle the stick. Avoid handling it with bare hands or the oils may smear the ink.
