Lacrosse Rule Changes (2006)

• The color of tooth and mouth protectors must be of a readily visible color, other than white or clear.
• The procedure for listing players in the official scorebook must be complete and accurate at the start of the game.
• The margin of goals that initiates a running clock is 12 goals.
• The pregame coin toss procedure gives the controlling team the option to choose control of the first alternate possession or the goal their team will defend first.
• A team that throws a pass as a period ends during an extra man situation is ruled to have not been in possession during the flight of the ball, regardless of whether or not the ball is caught by a teammate.
• Should the ball become stuck in a player's crosse, the ball must be awarded to the opposing team
• A goal will not be counted if the head comes off the stick on a successful shot.
• Upon gaining possession of the ball inside the defensive half of the field, a team must advance the ball beyond the midfield line within 20 seconds or the ball will be awarded to the opposing team at the spot of the violation or 20 yards laterally from the goal.
• An injured player must leave the game until the next allowable point of substitution.
• Play must be stopped if any required goalie's equipment becomes broken during play.
• The official has the authority to eject a player for flagrant misconduct without having to wait for a second misconduct penalty and a player must leave the premises, in most situations, if ejected.
• Players serving multiple, simultaneous penalties must serve the full time of all non-releasable penalties first.  After the non-releasable time has been served, if a goal is scored during the releasable penalty time, the player could return to the game, but not if a goal is scored during the non-releasable penalty time.

Ready for wall Ball?
Playing wall ball provides an excellent way to improve throwing and catching skills for lacrosse. Have you used the wallball wall up at Taylor Road Middle School yet? (There's an incentive to developing accuracy in throwing - when you miss, the ball usually jumps the fence and rolls down the hill to the swamp on the other side!)

Come to practice a little early, or stop by over the weekend, and get some throwing practice. Click here for Wallball Drills.
