Did early lacrosse players wear helmets?
No, girls are not allowed to wear helmets in America. In other countries it may be allowed but not in America. That is a contriverisial issued being debated for a few years. The people against helmets say that it will make girls more violen while playing lacrosse. But girls can throw just as hard as guys can so if they get hit in the head it will have major damage to the skull and could result in death.
Edit: Just FYI, girls can't throw as hard as guys... Granted, SOME girls can throw as hard as SOME guys, but on average, guys shoot a lot harder. I would love to see girls play a full out game of mens lacrosse lol. That would be pretty intense.
What are the rules to playing lacrosse?
Lacrosse is a game of speed and your always gonna be on the run. There is a crosse the stick and a head with mesh in it that you can use to scoop the ball up. Make sure you don't rake it.( my coach is always saying it) When your trying to catch the ball don't catch it like a spoon. Hold your stick up and let it come in DO NOT swat at the ball in an attempt to catch it. And stretch cause you'll feel achy after a game. Never stop in the middle of a game. First of all your coach will go berserk and second like i said its on the run. If your a new player you''ll need a mouthguard, a helmet, armpads, gloves, a cup, a stick, shoulder pads, rib pads, and cleats. Soccer cleats will do. And if their is a bunch of people huddling whacking each other with the stick don't be afraid to run though a knock a few people down to get the ball but if your team looks like they have it get open so you can get a pass and make a fast break to the goal. the positions in lacrosse are midfeild-which is offense and defense, attack which is offense,defense which is defending your goalie and attacking the attack players and goalie which is blocking shots from going into the goal.
Do lacrosse players wear protective cups?
Besides goalies, most players prefer not to wear cups because of restriction while running and they can be uncomfortable. They are not required but it's a good idea to do so.

Only guys wear cups, girls, well you know, they don't really need them
But chest protectors, gloves, helments and elbow pads are mandatory.
--Depends on if youre playing HS lax or club. Most HS requirements have a cup as a Mandatory piece of equipment.

What is the average score of a lacrosse game?
It's generally accepted that a sidearm shot is considered the fastest shot, although this is different for every person. However, this is only because most people shot incorrectly overhand. If executed correctly, the overhand shot is the most powerful.
Before we begin to examine how to shoot overhand, we should understand the basic physics of shooting and the speed associated. Essentially, a lacrosse stick is a third-class lever, which means that it multiplies distance. What that means is that the head of the stick will travel farther, and much faster than your hands do. Also, the farther away the head of the stick is from the fulcrum, and your hands, the faster your shot will be.
How can you adjust your form so that you get the max speed? Simple. Firstly, get your hands up, and away from your body. Ideally, you want to extend them as far back as possible, and keep them above the shoulders. Next, get your hands close together. The closer they are, they faster you can shoot (if you have the strength). Finally, the shooting motion does not come from the arms, it comes from your hips and shoulders.
When shooting, always remember: hands up and out and your power comes from your "hips and nips".
Now, go practice. The final key to shooting fast is all practice.
Also remember that in a game, you will probably not be able to shoot like this, but if you practice it the correct way, you will automatically get as close to this form as you can when shooting in a game.
You can get hurt in lacrosse. However, in both the mens and womens game you do have protection to a certain extent.
