Especially for girls` youth rules, rule 5.7 (goal circle injuries) has been adapted to „a player cannot run in the goal circle when a shot is taken“ and the associated penalty has been removed. Observations have shown that this is not a safety risk and that the rule is often misunderstood and difficult to follow by youth match officials. The change is in line with high school rules and ensures consistency between the two levels of play. The changes to high school rules were approved by the Board of Directors of the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) and for USA Lacrosse Youth Level. Addendum to Rules for Young Boys The U.S. Lacrosse Youth Council has approved the addition of the following guidelines to address issues of good conduct on and off the field at lacrosse events for young boys. These guidelines are designed to support the kind of environment for our young athletes that allows them to play lacrosse and gives them such a positive experience that they stay in the game and later give back to the sport as coaches, officials and parents who encourage their own children to play. The guidelines are considered fully valid for the 2008 lacrosse season, and U.S. Lacrosse supports them with expert training and resources, which can be found on the U.S. Lacrosse website under www.uslacrosse.org/official/sportsmanshipcard.phtml. In addition, in Rule 6.3, the minimum pass rule requirement for 8U has been removed, with leagues being able to set minimum pass rules if they wish. NFHSA Rule 1, Section 2 — The Field The lacrosse field must be rectangular, 110 yards long and between 53 1/3 and 60 yards wide.
Personal misconduct must be taken seriously. In addition to NFHSA rules, any player or coach who uses derogatory or profane language (beginning with „damned“) on the field or bench, whether addressing a player, coach or referee, may receive: first offense, 1-3 minutes unsportsmanlike conduct penalty; Second offense: an insoluble exclusion fault of 3 minutes. Officials will have the power to shut down a boys` game in response to egregious acts of unsportsmanlike conduct by coaches, athletes, spectators or fans. Cancellation of the game is the last resort to ensure the safety of players and maintain the integrity of the game. If possible, match officials will issue at least a strong warning that the game may be over. However, it is conceivable that the games will be over in the first instance of a blatant unsporting act. Every effort should be made to avoid match cancellations, including the application of existing rules on team conduct penalties, sanctions for unsportsmanlike conduct and expulsion offences. The mechanics for quitting a game for blatant unsportsmanlike behavior can be found on the aforementioned US Lacrosse website. All games ended by a U.S. lacrosse official will end in a 1-0 victory for the team that clears the offense or fatal offenses. It is recommended that the match be counted as a complete game in the league statistics and that all goals, assists, scores and other team statistics be counted towards team and league records.
Each youth lacrosse team is asked to provide an adult who will be trained as a youth auxiliary. In the event that one or both designated officials do not appear to be performing their official duties, the assistant officer(s) will be asked to officiate the match. The assistant agent can be an active parent participating in their child`s play or another adult associated with the organization or city where the event is taking place. The auxiliary official has completed the training of level 1 American lacrosse officials for men`s lacrosse and has official status as an active member of American lacrosse, but he does not have a schedule for league games. Each junior lacrosse team is asked to provide a designated manager (one adult per team, on-site, per game day) to promote, maintain and manage the athletic behaviour of spectators and fans. These adults would be responsible for ensuring that spectators and fans positively support athletes, coaches and officials and refrain from conduct that does not comply with the U.S. Lacrosse Code of Conduct. Branch line managers are trained prior to these competitions by reading the U.S. Lacrosse and U.S.
Lacrosse – Positive Coaching Alliance Sideline Manager Job Description, available online at www.uslacrosse.org/official/sportsmanshipcard.phtml, or by requesting a hard copy from their local U.S. Lacrosse Branch. Sideline managers report to officials prior to the draw and follow the procedures outlined in the Sideline Manager`s job description, which can be found on the referenced U.S. lacrosse website. Sideline managers will inform a recalcitrant fan or spectator that unsporting behavior may result in exclusion and/or cancellation of the match by officials, in accordance with the match cancellation – Policy 4. Spectators and fans will be placed on the other side of the pitch from the table and bench. If the pitch is designed in such a way that spectators and fans are not on the other side of the pitch, the referee may waive this requirement. If there are no stands or seating available on the other side of the field, spectators, fans and parents should note the 6-yard spectator dividing line on the other side of the field. Officials will have the power to shut down a boys` game in response to egregious acts of unsportsmanlike conduct by coaches, athletes, spectators or fans. See the addendum to the Rules for Young Boys, below, for more information. „Rules committees have made minor but significant changes this year to streamline criminal administration in some cases, resulting in more consistent administration,“ said Caitlin Kelley, senior director of sports administration at USA Lacrosse and liaison with the NFHS and USAL women`s lacrosse rules committees.
„This year`s changes continue to focus on greater consistency in the national landscape by removing some potential subjective norms in the game and allowing officials to focus on the essential elements of the game without unnecessary distractions. In addition, there have been some minor adjustments to the girls` rules to ensure greater consistency with high school play and to improve the play experience without compromising safety. In general, high school games last 48 minutes, with 12-minute quarters. Youth games last 32 minutes, with eight minutes of quarter. Each team has a two-minute break between the first and second quarters and the third and fourth quarters. Half-time lasts ten minutes. Phillylacrosse.com, published on 09/22/22 – By USA Lacrosse USA Training equipment for the 2023 season will soon be updated and will be available online at www.usalacrosse.com/girls-and-womens-rules. For a complete list of lacrosse rule changes for high school girls, visit the NFHS website. Men`s lacrosse begins with a confrontation.
The ball is placed between the sticks of two players crouching in the middle of the field. The official whistles to start the match. Each confrontational player tries to control the ball. Players in the wing areas can run after the ball when the whistle sounds. Other players must wait until a player has taken possession of the ball or the ball has crossed a goal line before they can let go. • 2019 Men`s Lacrosse Rules (online) • Men`s Field Printable Table (PDF) • Fair Play Map The following rules were drafted by the U.S. Lacrosse Youth Council as exceptions to the 2019 National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHSA) Men`s Lacrosse Rules. All of the unmodified rules below are considered standard youth rules for the 2019 lacrosse season. The rules for kids are printed on the back of the 2019 NFHS boys` lacrosse rulebook. Homeschooling should provide the services of a licensed physician and/or athletic trainer at all boys` lacrosse games. Medical staff must report to both the coach and the referee before the start of the game.
He sits on the home team`s bench, so he is available at all times.
