How are mens and womnes lacrosse different?
Men’s and Women’s lacrosse vary in many ways, for one girls use the traditional stringing patter for their heads while Men’s use mesh to string their sticks. Women’s shafts are solid but men’s are typically hollow. In girl’s they are’nt permitted body checks and wear only goggles and elbows for protection. Men are allowed to body check and wear heavier paddings for gloves helmets, elbow, chest, shoulder and rarely but on ocassion rib pads. For the pocket of their lacrosse head Men’s can have as deep until you can see the top of the ball, Girl’s have to be so shallow that you arent permitted to be able to see the bottom of the ball. These are the big differences but there are many other small procedures that vary widely between the two gender’s sport.
