In Girl's/Women's lacrosse, headgear is optional.

The debate has been going on for years...some are for and many are against introducing headgear into women's lax.  You can google it and find several articles for and against it and decide what's best for your daughter.

However, if you do decide to purchase headgear, it MUST meet the ASTM standard, F3137, which is a performance standard, not a design standard.
