The Goalie Stick

Goalies, rejoice! The Hackees goalie stick is a padded mini goalie stick built for backyard, basement and beach lacrosse. Call it the Dreamsicle, the trapper keeper or the orange brick wall. Whatever you call it, just make sure you're talking to your D-men and ready to cover the corners.

Like every Hackees stick, it has a soft, padded design, so kids and adults can play without full goalie gear. In addition, it pairs with the soft Hackees mini ball, which is safer than a regulation lacrosse ball for casual games. As a result, it's an easy way to get a goalie into backyard games with the rest of the family.

What you get:

• One Hackees goalie stick
• One Hackees mini ball
• Your choice of orange or mango
• $49

Who is it for? Young goalies who want extra reps at home, families who play backyard games, and any player who secretly wants to try the cage. It also makes a great gift for the goalie in your life.

How to practice: first, set up a goal and stand on the crease. Next, have a partner take easy shots from about 10 yards. Finally, work on stepping to the ball and clearing it out after each save.

Complete the setup with a Hackees Goal 3.0, a Hackees long pole for your defender and a 6-pack of mini balls. Stringers Lacrosse Shop ships every order from Chagrin Falls, Ohio.
