para comprobar un palo de lacrosse

Checking is a form of blocking and has nothing to do with comprobar. Depending on exactly what you are describing, words like embestir, pegar, golpear, empujar, chocar, bloquear etc. could be used. They may even use the English term in sports broadcasting.

I did a search in Spanish and came up with this from a blog. It appears that "check" is used. I went on google.com.mx and typed in "términos lacrosse"

Los jugadores pueden ganar posesión sacando la pelota de su adversario usando una técnica con el palo llamado "check." Los jugadores practican el check usando un golpe controlado hacia el palo o a los guantes de su adversario con una o las dos manos. Un check duro sin control puede resultar en un penalty.
