About Lacrosse

Rules and equipment requirements are different for girls and boys lacrosse — even at the college and pro levels.

The shortest explanation of boys lacrosse rules is: catch, carry, and cradle the ball in your stick— and score on the other team’s net.

There are dozens of official rules governing each facet of play, but the most important rules are those protecting player safety.

Boys lacrosse rules are designed to create a game of speed and to protect player safety.

The rules of boys lacrosse mandate protective padding on most of a player’s top half.

Girls lacrosse rules are designed to create a game of skill and to protect player safety.

Lacrosse equipment requirements for girls include only minimal gear. A few extras are recommended.
