About Girls Lacrosse
Welcome to the 2019 Lacrosse Season. Girls Lacrosse is for teaching young women and girls the competitive game of Girls Lacrosse. Girls Lacrosse is significantly different than Boys Lacrosse with the primary difference being the lack of body checking. In fact, contact is not allowed except for very specific cases so this explains why the girls do not suit up in pads and helmets, except for the goaltender.
