in youth leagues its recommended and in high school its whatever you want
I only know the rules for girls Lacrosse they are: -No uncontrollable checks -No charging -No hitting people with your stick -No hitting the goalie purposely -No trapping -You must have a mouth guard to play Those are the only ones I know but hope that helped!
If you were playing lacrosse (if you were a girl) you would need a mouth guard, a face guard, and a lacrosse stick. If you were playing volleyball, you would need knee pads.
Mandatory equipment include a helmet, arm pads, shoulder pads, gloves, lacrosse stick (obviously), and a cup (highly recommended). One optional piece of equipment is a rib guard. Goalies need special equipment such as goalie stick, goalie chest pad, throat guard, and padded goalie pants.
Helmet with facemask and throat guard attached, chest protector, arm pads, leg pads, jill, padded gloves- this is for box lacrosse
Gloves, stick (shaft, head, and mesh), goggles, undershirt, jersey, and pants.and a mouth guard.
no i dont think
For youth lacrosse, the required equipment is; Shoulder pads, Helmet, Elbow pads, Gloves, Mouth guard, and a stick. However there is also "strongly reccomended" equipment. Here is a list in order of importance. Cup/Jock Cleats Rib Pads Usually teams provide matching shorts and jerseys. Equipment varies for goalies.
It depends on what you mean by "tougher." Boys lacrosse is more aggressive and they are allowed to check the body as well as the stick. However, they wear a lot of padding and have a large pocket in the netting of their stick that makes it easier to keep the ball in. Only stick to stick checking is allowed in girls lacrosse, but the only protection they wear is a mouth guard and goggles and they do not have the large pocket advantage that boys do making it more difficult to maintain possession of the ball.
No i believe that would wear down the guard making it illegal
in guys you hit each other and in girls you can ONLY hit the stickhttp://wiki.answers.com/Q/User:206.19.211.141 21:07, 8 Jun 2009 (UTC)unknown`User:206.19.211.14121:07, 8 Jun 2009 (UTC)
This list can go on for long, but in most sports, you need a helmet. I have the hockey answer though Player: A CSA approved helmet, elbow pads and shoulder pads, hockey pants, neck guard, gloves, slash guards (for a short cuff glove) shin guards, a cup and skates. Optional: mouth guard, in some leagues full masks, and in the Nhl, visors Goalie: Specialy made goalie cup, goalie pants, goalie pads, chest protector, blocker, catcher, helmet, skates and a neck guard. Optional: Neck guard that appears above the jersey. It is attached to the helmet
women's lacrosse is the truer form of the game. they play with minimal padding (only goggles and a moth guard). there are very specific rules for checking (hitting) the the ball out of another players stick. men's allowed far more contact and checking. they play with padding from the torso up (ribs, shoulders, helmet, mouth guard, elbows). that is because of the difference in checking.
