Is there a difference between men's and women's lacrosse goalie sticks?

Answer 1

Males are allowed to check and females can't. Also females cradle across the body and males cradle up by the head. The males also have different strung sticks the females

Actually the only difference is that men can hit and women can't but that's not say women don't hit cause it happens. Women use the same strung stick in box it is only different in field Lacrosse.

Answer 2

In womens lacrosse they dont have to where elbow pads or shoulder pads or a helmet but must where protective goggles. There is no difference in what goalies must where. Girls lacrosse sticks arent allowed to have any depth in the pocket and in mens(boys) lacrosse you can.

Answer 3

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Huge difference! Boys' are deep like butterfly nets and some are short (for offence) some are long (for defence). It's way easy to catch with them and you don't need skill. Girls' on the other hand have tight sticks and it depends on your height for what size your stick is. Girls have to have skills to be able to catch, cradle, and get ground balls.

Answer 4

There is a difference between boys and girls lacrosse that is barely noticeable. You can't even tell the difference from the two sticks. Anybody can mistake a boys stick for a girls stick. There is no difference in what you buy.

Answer 5

yes, a girls lacrosse stick is skinnier and more often then not a crankshaft. also its usually smooth grip unlike men's metallic grips.

Mens lacrosse heads have pockets so that when you get hit its easier to hold the ball, but because women lacrosse is a none contact sport there is no pocket and cradling is different.

Answer 7

Men wear more equipment and padding and are allowed to check.

Answer 8

no but girls usually use a 30" mens shaft
