Abstract
A sports equipment hand-held or stick-held carrier that weaves or threads through one or more pieces of equipment and holds a ball, mouthpiece and other miscellaneous items. The carrier slides, snaps or hooks onto a lacrosse stick and has a strap for hands-free carrying of all the necessary pieces of equipment. The carrier binds the stick and equipment together over the shoulder and around the torso of the user. The stick is easily inserted and removed from the carrier for play while holding the equipment together. This carrier acts as a needle and thread that easily holds and releases the various pieces of equipment. It is a quick, open and secure way to store or carry equipment on its own separately or attached to a stick. The carrier can also be customized with removable attachments to create varying combinations to accommodate different players and easily replace any broken parts.
