Abstract

A lacrosse pocket protector is provided. The lacrosse pocket protector includes a body portion formed of semi flexible material. Further, the lacrosse pocket protector includes a first connector for coupling around a throat of a head of a lacrosse stick; a second connector for coupling to a top portion of the head of the lacrosse stick; and a third connector for coupling around side walls of the head of the lacrosse stick. The body portion is placed in a curved position in response to coupling the first connector and the second connector to the head of the lacrosse stick. Additionally, the lacrosse pocket protector is moveable between an engaged and a disengaged position. In the disengaged position, the lacrosse pocket protector may be coupled to the head of the lacrosse stick. In the engaged position, the lacrosse pocket protector may be secured around the head of the lacrosse stick.
