How does a lacrosse game start?

as you know there are 3 attackmen and defenders on each side of the field, both behind the restraining line. There is also a goalie on each side of the field. There will be 3 middies on each side of the 50 yard line with both teams having their own side. two middies, 1 from each team, will line up on each side of the field crouching down. They will have the outside of their pocket facing the ball with the pocket punched inside out. Not one part of the lacrosse stick can touch the ball as also their sticks must be parrallel. The ref will tell you to go down and when the whistle blows they will both go after the ball. As the other middies can help everyone else must stay behind the restraining line until the ref calls possession.

But the above is just for men's lacrosse. In women's lax, there are 5 middies per team: four around the circle and one in the middle per team. Then there are three low defense and low attackmen behind the restraining line per team. The backs of the heads of the sticks of the two girls in the middle (one for each team) are pressed together with the ball in between. On the whistle, the heads are pulled or pushed up and away, sending the ball through the air. This is called the draw. The ball can go anywhere depending on the skill of the centers; usually it is drawn to a teammate waiting on the circle, but you can draw the ball to yourself; you just have to be tall so you can grab it and gain possession.

Are the rules the same on boys lacrosse and girls lacrosse?
