Frequently Asked Questions About Pickleball Equipment

1. What lacrosse equipment do you carry?

Our lacrosse collection includes lacrosse throwing machines and lacrosse goals from some of the most trusted names in the sport. On the machine side, we carry the JUGS Lacrosse Machine and the JUGS Lacrosse Package. For goals, we offer the Warmonger Economy Lacrosse Goal by First Team, the Warlord Competition Lacrosse Goal by First Team, and the Trigon ProCage Official Size Lacrosse Goal. Whether you're building a backyard training setup or equipping a full team facility, we have the tools to get you there.
2. What is the best lacrosse throwing machine for solo practice?

The JUGS Lacrosse Machine ($995) is one of the most popular choices for solo training. It fires accurate passes and shots at consistent speeds, allowing players to work on catching, stick skills, and reaction time without needing a practice partner. JUGS has been the gold standard in ball machine technology for decades, and their lacrosse machine brings that same reliability to the lacrosse field. For players and coaches who want a complete out-of-the-box training solution, the JUGS Lacrosse Package ($1,987.20) bundles the machine with additional accessories for an even more comprehensive setup.
3. What is the difference between the JUGS Lacrosse Machine and the JUGS Lacrosse Package?

The JUGS Lacrosse Machine is the standalone unit — a powerful, reliable throwing machine ideal for players who already have the accessories they need or who want to build out their setup over time. The JUGS Lacrosse Package is the all-inclusive bundle, combining the machine with supporting training accessories so you're ready to go right out of the box. If you're setting up a new training area from scratch, the package offers the best overall value. Not sure which is right for you? Contact our team and we'll help you decide.
4. What is the official size of a lacrosse goal?

Official lacrosse goals measure 6 feet wide by 6 feet tall with a depth of approximately 7 feet, as specified by NCAA and high school governing bodies. The Trigon ProCage Official Size Lacrosse Goal ($756.67) and the Warlord Competition Lacrosse Goal by First Team ($768) are both built to these exact regulation dimensions, making them appropriate for competitive team practice, official games, and school athletic programs.
5. What is the difference between the Warmonger and Warlord lacrosse goals by First Team?

Both goals are made by First Team, a leading manufacturer of athletic equipment known for heavy-duty construction and long-term durability. The Warmonger Economy Lacrosse Goal ($515) is First Team's budget-friendly option — a solid, dependable goal well-suited for recreational leagues, schools, and backyard use. The Warlord Competition Lacrosse Goal ($768) is built to a higher specification for competitive play, featuring heavier-gauge construction and materials engineered to hold up under intense, repeated use. If you're outfitting a competitive team or high-traffic training facility, the Warlord is the right investment.
6. Can a lacrosse throwing machine be used for other sports?

The JUGS Lacrosse Machine is specifically designed for lacrosse balls, but JUGS also produces machines purpose-built for other sports. If you're looking for training machines for additional sports, browse our baseball and softball pitching machines for diamond sports, our football throwing machines for quarterback and receiver training, and our pickleball ball machines and tennis ball machines for racquet sports. We're a one-stop shop for athlete development across virtually every sport.
7. What lacrosse equipment is best for a school or team facility?

For school athletic programs and team training facilities, we recommend starting with the JUGS Lacrosse Package for maximum practice efficiency, paired with at least one Warlord Competition Lacrosse Goal or Trigon ProCage Goal for regulation-size target training. Round out your facility with multi-sport training equipment such as agility ladders, cones, and speed hurdles to develop the athleticism and footwork that lacrosse demands. Our team is also happy to help you put together a custom equipment plan — reach out to us and we'll work with your budget and facility requirements.
8. How do I set up a backyard lacrosse training area?

A solid backyard lacrosse setup doesn't require a lot of space. Start with a Warmonger Economy Lacrosse Goal — it's the most affordable First Team goal we carry and gives you a full-size regulation target for shooting and accuracy practice. Add a JUGS Lacrosse Machine for solo passing and catching drills, and you have everything you need to run productive individual workouts at home. For players who also want to build overall athleticism, our multi-sport training equipment offers a wide range of speed, agility, and conditioning tools.
9. What brands of lacrosse equipment do you carry?

We carry lacrosse equipment from three trusted brands: JUGS, the industry leader in sports throwing and pitching machines with decades of experience across baseball, softball, and lacrosse; First Team, a premium manufacturer of athletic goals and structures known for their heavy-gauge steel construction and institutional-grade durability; and Trigon Sports, makers of the ProCage Official Size Lacrosse Goal and a range of other professional athletic equipment. Together, these brands cover everything from backyard recreation to competitive team training.
10. Can I get help choosing the right lacrosse equipment for my needs?

The Complete Guide to Lacrosse Training Equipment: Machines, Goals & More

Lacrosse is one of the fastest-growing sports in the country, and for good reason — it demands an exceptional combination of speed, coordination, stick skills, and athleticism that keeps players constantly challenged and constantly improving. Whether you're a player looking to develop your game between practices, a coach building out a training program, or a school or club investing in a long-term facility, having the right equipment makes all the difference. At Omaha Sports & Games, we carry a focused, high-quality selection of lacrosse throwing machines and competition-grade lacrosse goals from the most trusted brands in the sport — so you can train harder, practice smarter, and perform better when it counts.

Why Quality Lacrosse Training Equipment Matters

Lacrosse is a sport where repetition is everything. Stick skills, catching consistency, shooting accuracy, and reaction time are all developed through thousands of repeated reps — and none of those reps are productive if your equipment is letting you down. A goal that shifts out of position, warps in the weather, or loses its structural integrity after a season is not just inconvenient; it actively undermines the quality of your training. The same goes for throwing machines that feed inconsistently or break down mid-session.

That's why every piece of lacrosse equipment in our lacrosse collection is built to professional or institutional standards. From the entry-level Warmonger Economy Goal to the advanced JUGS Lacrosse Package, the products we carry are ones we stand behind for durability, performance, and long-term value.

Lacrosse Throwing Machines: Train Without a Practice Partner

One of the biggest limiting factors in any athlete's development is access to quality repetitions. Even the most dedicated players are constrained by practice schedules, partner availability, and coach attention. A lacrosse throwing machine removes that constraint entirely — giving players the ability to run drills, catch passes, and work on reaction time on their own schedule, for as long as they want, with perfectly consistent ball delivery every single time.

The machines in our lineup are built by JUGS, the most respected name in sports throwing machine technology. With decades of experience engineering machines for baseball, softball, and multi-sport use, JUGS brings the same level of precision and reliability to lacrosse that has made them the go-to brand for coaches and athletes at every level of competition.

JUGS Lacrosse Machine

The JUGS Lacrosse Machine ($995) is the cornerstone of any serious lacrosse training setup. Designed specifically for lacrosse ball delivery, it fires passes and shots at consistent speeds with reliable accuracy — exactly what players need to develop crisp catching mechanics and quick hands. Whether you're working on ground-ball scooping, overhead catches, or reaction drills, the JUGS Lacrosse Machine delivers ball after ball with the kind of consistency that a human feeder simply can't match over a long session.

The machine is versatile enough for individual workouts, small group training, and full team drills. Attackers can use it to sharpen their catching and shooting sequences. Midfielders can work on transition catching at full sprint. Goalies can use it to face-off against consistent, repeatable shots from set positions. Whatever your position or training goal, the JUGS machine is the workhorse your program needs.

JUGS Lacrosse Package

For players and programs that want everything they need in a single purchase, the JUGS Lacrosse Package ($1,987.20) is the complete solution. This bundle pairs the JUGS Lacrosse Machine with supporting training accessories, giving you a fully equipped practice station right out of the box. Rather than sourcing components separately and hoping everything is compatible, the JUGS Lacrosse Package is designed to work seamlessly as a single integrated system.

For coaches setting up a new program, team managers outfitting a facility, or parents investing in a comprehensive home training setup, the Lacrosse Package delivers maximum training value with minimal setup friction. It's one of the best per-dollar training investments in our entire lacrosse collection.

The Sport Screen — Lacrosse SportScreen

Rounding out our machine lineup is the Sport Screen Lacrosse SportScreen (from $579.99), a remote-controlled rebounder screen that returns balls back to players after shots or passes. The SportScreen is an excellent companion tool for shooters working on accuracy and for players who want to run high-volume shooting drills without constantly chasing down loose balls. Its remote control functionality makes it easy to adjust angles and positioning mid-drill without interrupting your workout flow.

Lacrosse Goals: From Backyard Recreation to Full Competition

A quality lacrosse goal is the centerpiece of any practice area. It needs to be the right size, built from materials that can absorb repeated hard shots without warping or shifting, and durable enough to hold up through seasons of outdoor use. Our goal lineup covers the full range from economy backyard options to heavy-duty competition-grade equipment.

Warmonger Economy Lacrosse Goal by First Team

The Warmonger Economy Lacrosse Goal by First Team ($515) is the most accessible goal in our lineup and an excellent starting point for recreational players, youth athletes, and anyone building a first backyard setup. Don't let the word "economy" fool you — First Team builds to a higher standard than most brands' premium offerings. The Warmonger is constructed from solid steel, features regulation 6x6 dimensions, and is built to last through years of consistent outdoor use.

For players who are just getting started, families setting up a practice area in the yard, or recreational leagues that need a reliable goal without the full cost of a competition model, the Warmonger delivers exceptional value at an accessible price point.

Warlord Competition Lacrosse Goal by First Team

Step up to the Warlord Competition Lacrosse Goal by First Team ($768) when you need a goal that can handle the demands of competitive play and high-volume team practice. The Warlord is built from heavier-gauge steel than the Warmonger, with tighter construction tolerances and reinforced joints that hold their shape even when taking hundreds of hard shots daily. It's the right call for high school and club programs, team training facilities, and any setting where the goal is going to see serious, repeated use.

Like all First Team products, the Warlord is engineered with the expectation that it will be used hard and used often. The investment pays off in the form of a goal that doesn't need to be replaced every season — one that becomes a permanent fixture of your training environment.

Trigon ProCage Official Size Lacrosse Goal

The Trigon ProCage Official Size Lacrosse Goal ($756.67) from Trigon Sports is a regulation 6x6 foot competition goal built for official game and practice use. The ProCage features a welded steel frame, UV-resistant netting, and a design engineered to meet the dimensional standards set by NCAA and high school governing bodies. It's an excellent option for programs that want official-spec equipment at a price point that sits between the Warmonger and Warlord, and it's particularly well-suited for schools and clubs that need goals that comply with official regulations for game use.

Choosing the Right Lacrosse Setup for Your Level

Youth and Beginner Players

If you're just getting into lacrosse or setting up a practice area for a young player, the Warmonger Economy Goal is the ideal starting point. It provides a full-size regulation target without the premium price of a competition model, and it's tough enough to handle years of youth practice. Pair it with the JUGS Lacrosse Machine for a home training setup that can accelerate skill development far beyond what practice alone can achieve.

High School and Competitive Club Players

Serious players competing at the high school or club level need equipment that matches the intensity of their training. The Warlord Competition Goal or Trigon ProCage paired with a JUGS Lacrosse Machine gives you a setup capable of handling high-volume, high-intensity training sessions day after day. Adding multi-sport training equipment like agility ladders, resistance bands, and speed hurdles to your training regimen can further elevate your overall athleticism and on-field performance.

School Programs and Team Facilities

Coaches and athletic directors outfitting a school or club lacrosse program should prioritize durability and versatility. The JUGS Lacrosse Package provides a complete, all-in-one training machine solution, while multiple Warlord or Trigon ProCage goals give your team authentic regulation targets to train with. Complement your program with multi-sport training equipment and reach out to our team for help designing a facility setup that fits your space and budget.
