Beginning in January 2022, USA Lacrosse youth field lacrosse rules will require that all field players in boys’ lacrosse must wear chest protection for commotio cordis that meet the NOCSAE performance standard ND200 in order to be deemed legal for play.  All field player equipment meeting the NOCSAE performance standard must contain an SEI (Safety Equipment Institute) certification mark to be considered legal for play at all levels of boys’ youth lacrosse.  Additional information about this new rule can be found at: https://www.usalacrosse.com/lacrosse-chest-protector-faq

All protective shoulder & chest pads meeting the new NOCSAE ND200 standard will feature a noticeably larger and more robust chest plate specifically designed to help shield the cardiac system from ball impact.  Shoulder and chest pads meeting the new ND200 standard must have an SEI certification mark like the image below to be considered legal for play in 2022

ALL NEW SHOULDER & CHEST PADS THAT MEET THE NEW USA LACROSSE SAFETY STANDARDS WILL BE PROMINENTLY MARKED WITH A SEI CERTIFICATION MARK.  DO NOT BUY ANY NEW OR USED SHOULDER & CHEST PADS THAT DO NOT CONTAIN THIS CERTIFICATION MARK AS THEY MAY NOT BE LEGAL FOR PLAY IN 2022! 

It is recommended that all players requiring new shoulder & chest protectors consider purchasing new equipment well in advance of the start of the 2022 lacrosse season to avoid potential shortages in equipment that may occur as a result of this new equipment mandate.  The links below are a few reputable online retailers where the new NOCSAE compliant equipment can be purchased.
