A removable cover for a lacrosse stick of the type having an elongated hollow shaft having an outer surface and an inner surface and an interior channel extending therethrough and a free end portion with an open end which serves as a handle portion of said lacrosse stick. The cover includes an end cap configured and dimensioned to be removably mountable in a friction fit manner on the free end portion of the hollow shaft. The end cap has a head portion and an elongated, resilient hollow body portion attached to said head portion and insertable into the open end of the free end portion of the hollow shaft. A flexible, resilient, membrane-like, tubular sheath is removably mountable on the outer surface of the free end portion of the hollow shaft and is movable thereon between a furled position in which the sheath is rolled longitudinally on and along said free end portion of the hollow shaft onto itself to form a rolled-up tubular sheath disposed adjacent to the end cap, and an unfurled position, in which the rolled-up tubular sheath is unrolled longitudinally on and along the outer surface of the free end portion of the hollow shaft. The tubular sheath is dimensioned to create a friction fit when mounted on the hollow shaft. The sheath has a flap which is inserted into the open end and interior channel of the shaft. Both the sheath and the flap are removably secured to the end cap.

Cover for the shaft of athletic equipment

A sheath for an article of athletic equipment having a shaft, which includes a cap and a rolled sheath. The cap is mounted on the free end of the athletic equipment and the sheath is unrolled onto the shaft to the desired length or the entire length of the shaft. The cap and sheath are preferably made from injection molded rubber, neoprene of other polymers that permit production in various thickness, colors and lengths. The elasticity of the material preferably gives it memory and durability. The diameter of the sheath is preferably smaller than the diameter of the shaft of the athletic equipment so that it stretches to a tight fit. After the sheath is unrolled to the desired length, excess material may be cut off, if desired.
