Yes women can check, but not as much as the men. Their checks have to be short (meaning you can't hold your stick there). Their checks also must to be under control (meaning you can't swing your stick). Depending on your age level, the checks can be below the knee, below the waist, below the shoulder, or anywhere. Checks can never be near the head because of safety reasons. Ask your ref what the checking is before your game. Good Luck!
No that is what Women's lacrosse is for as a 5 year lacrosse player I do not suggest women play men's lacrosse. it's called men's lacrosse for a reason. Women's lacrosse isn't for men neither should men's be for women. Lacrosse is an extremely dangerous sport women should play with women.

Originally, lacrosse was a Native American sport for the men of an Indian tribe. The game was a contest of strength, speed, and toughness. Women were not originally suppose to compete in the game because of the dangers it posed. No pads were used whatsoever, and the now common term a "check" was on an entirely different level. So, to answer this question: No, lacrosse was not originally for women. It was a guys sport but obviously, this has changed.
