Why is womens lacrosse so different from real lacrosse

While women's lacrosse and men's lacrosse share the same name and some basic rules, there are significant differences that set them apart. Here are a few of the key distinctions:

Equipment: Women's lacrosse sticks have a narrower head and shorter shaft than men's sticks. The ball used in women's lacrosse is also slightly smaller and softer.
Field size: Women's lacrosse is played on a smaller field than men's lacrosse. The field is 110 yards long and 60 yards wide, while the men's field is 110 yards long and 70 yards wide.
Number of players: Women's lacrosse is played with 12 players on each team, while men's lacrosse is played with 10 players on each team.
Contact: Women's lacrosse is a non-contact sport, while men's lacrosse is a contact sport. This means that players in women's lacrosse are not allowed to hit or physically impede opposing players.
Scoring: In women's lacrosse, players score by throwing the ball into the opposing team's net. In men's lacrosse, players can also score by throwing the ball into the opposing team's net, but they can also score by running the ball across the opposing team's goal line.
