[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just read the last few pages after not having been on here for a week or so and I am so sorry I did. Migraine the size of Montana. I actually came on to see what people thought about girls wearing helmets and I got caught up in this sh*tstorm. [/quote]

I have had a number of conversations with experts on this.  Former D1 players who now coach are pretty universally against helmets.  They say it increases reckless play, leading with the head on dodges, aggressive defense through the stick, and erodes the rule-based safety (shooting space; checking rules, etc) that keep the game safe and playable.

That rings true to me.  While I don't want to take away the option for a girl recovering from concussion or another injury where a helmet is required for protection, I would prefer that the rules maintain the norm of no helmets for girls and women's lacrosse.[/quote]

I agree. Subjectively, I have noticed players with helmets do tend to be more reckless.  I have noticed the leading with the head as well. I also think it is interesting to note that many FL girls, where it is mandatory, don't wear them for club.

They are also significantly more expensive than goggles, which puts others at a disadvantage financially.[/quote]
