I'm a physical education teacher who has taught lacrosse to my students. Lacrosse is a highly aerobic sport that is quite competitive. The rules are a little different for boys and girls. There is less contact in girls than with boys. It is not too late to get started, but be sure you are in good cardiovascular condition. Here is a website on the facts, rules, equipment if that helps: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lacrosse

Spring recreation lacrosse programs have begun here in Maryland, one of the best lacrosse states in the country. Perhaps there is a local team that could take a late signup. It would not hurt to look into it.
A good coach will help you learn the game. Start by getting a stick and learning to catch and throw and cradle, first standing still, then on the run.
If it is too late to sign up for a team, look into lacrosse camps for summer.
