Is girls lacrosse tougher than boys lacrosse?
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.

Also, you cannot have any rips in the mesh.

What kind of sport is lacrosse?
In lacrosse, you have 3 defense, 3 attack, and like 4 midfielders. 1 person from each team starts off in the middle and does the draw. Then the midfielders try to get the ball and make it down the field toward their attack players. Where team A's attack players are standing, team B's defensemen are standing trying to prevent the ball from going into the goal, while the attack are trying to do just the opposite. The team with the most goals at the end, win. It helps to cradle the ball when running down the field. You do that by holding the stick with your dominant hand on top and you turn your wrist back and forth and run. Try to avoid defensemen and keep the ball and stick as close to your body as possible. Good luck! Lacrosse is my favorite and I'm sure you will love it too!
