  1. Rules of Emphasis 2012 National Officials Certification Program Additional Module Level 1 – 5 Introduction to: Module: The Game

  2. The Chair of Officiating expresses his appreciation to the members of the NOCP Committee for their work in producing this document.

  3. Why Emphasize Rules? To enhance the quality, safety, and fairness of the game, facilitate better skills development for player and provide a more satisfying Lacrosse experience. Officials are expected to implement these consistently at all times. Read and KNOW the relevant rules

  4. Rules of Emphasis – 2012 • HITS TO THE HEAD AND OTHER MAJOR PENALTIES • HITS IN THE EXCHANGE AREA • OFF-BALL SLASHING • CREASE PLAY - PROTECTING THE GOALKEEPER • CREASE PLAY - PLAYING THE ADVANTAGE

  5. HITS TO THE HEAD AND OTHER MAJORS The head and neck are vulnerable. So are arms, wrists, and legs. Too many minor penalties. If the contact is excessive anywhere on the body or the contact is directly to the head: MAJOR PENALTY If the play is reckless and endangers a player: MATCH PENALTY

  6. HITS IN THE EXCHANGE AREA This 2011 rule change resulted in a lot of confusion. Hopefully this clears it up. Three things need to happen to assess the game misconduct in addition to the penalty: • A penalty has to occur on the line or inside the exchange box (NOT just outside) • Players must be changing (going on or off) • The ball cannot be in the exchange area

  7. OFF-BALL SLASHING Players are vulnerable to injury and it is an intimidation tactic that takes away from the flow of the game. It can lead to retaliation. Slashing is ONLY permitted in an attempt to dislodge the ball. Since, in this case, there is no ball = not legal Warn players early (unless it is too strong - then give a penalty) and then follow-up with consistent penalties. A light tap to ‘mark’ the position of a player is allowed but no more.

  8. CREASE - PROTECT GOALKEEPER Goalies are vulnerable to injury when trying to make a save. Crashing the net is an intimidation tactic that can lead to retaliation If a player makes unavoidable contact with a goalie in the crease because of decisions they made, there must be a penalty. If the contact is heavy, it must be a MAJOR or a MATCH PENALTY If there is contact in the crease, get in there quickly and be assertive so the situation doesn’t escalate

  9. CREASE - PLAY ADVANTAGE The crease rules have changed back and forth in the last two editions of the CLA rule book. Always think advantage - who has it, who should keep it If a player makes contact with a goalie’s stick by/in the crease on a loose ball or just after the goalie has gained possession - no penalty. Stop play and award possession to the goalie IF it causes ball to come free. If there is deliberate contact in the crease to take away possession, intimidate, or prevent a fast break/pass - call a penalty
