I personally believe that knee pads are for wusses, but if you need to wear them, get some smaller, gell filled ones, not the big clunky volleyball knee pads.

When I started I did. As I got older I only used them in outdoor boxes. Now the only time I ever use them is if I have some type of a knee injury, even then I usually don't.

i never uused knee pads.... this should be in the equipment forum.... kneew pads and lacrosse dont go together unless your a goalie

knees pads suck...bug you so much...and the look dumb and make you look weak...like u can't take the game

I thought about trying a knee brace at one point. It was just a way to stop ripping the skin off my knee from dives or some of the nasty hits I used to take. Never did get any though. Was worried it would mess up my knee instead of helping. I wouldn't wear knee pads though just because I find they feel really wierd when I run.

don't wear them they suck super bad, unles you're small and play on concret like some kids I know

Knee pads are big, bulky, and unneccesary. I may however need patella straps for the next box season.

Well I never wore them but now its doctors orders. I destroyed my knees with them my advice so what if you look weak just its a contact game hit them back!

If you're playing box then you're most likely on concrete.

ya but he;s in the states so the might play in like an outdoor rink with grass.

i think knee pads in box would be practical. most surfaces for box are either hard, or turf that rip you up caz its like sand paper. they would probably help a lot of random injuries, but theyll also make you look like a "sissy" just like how if you use rib pads in field ppl call you a wuss.

I have to wear them because I cracked my knee cap playing lacrosse when I was like 10, so I have a half knee replacement. It kinda sucks, but I guess it's better than getting the sh*t beaten out of my knees.....
