A typical men's lacrosse field. The women's game is often played on a larger field (120 x 82 yards), with the goals 100 yards apart, and usually without the outside boundary lines marked. The ball is put into play by a face-off at the middle of the field, and play is continuous except for goals, fouls, and time-outs. Players may kick the ball, but only the goalie may use his hands.
