Why are men and women in lacrosse playing differently?
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.

What are illegal lacrosse checks?
Where I'm from, illegal lacrosse checks vary in women's lacrosse. As for men's, well, I don't play men's, so I can't help you there...but if you're looking for women's rules here's the way I've been raised: When you are young and beginning, all checking is illegal. When you are in secondary elementary school, checking below the knees is allowed. When you are in middle school/junior high, check is allowed below the shoulders. Eventually, checking is allowed everywhere. The only checking I know is illegal at my age is empty checks. If your opponent does not securely have the ball in their stick, and her stick is empty, the refs will call this foul. For further information, you can check your team/program guidelines or rulebook. Now, if you want to know how to prevent checking all around? One word: cradle. Cradling is hard for beginners, but becomes a second nature as soon as you pick it up. When cradling, you are also securing the ball in your stick, flicking your wrist. It's quite simple. If you have been checked, and the refs don't call it, don't get distracted. Just keep trying. PRACTICE!
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.
